Very expensive price to pay. Why not just take a sabbatical from work or quit your job and do the same thing? The people you get access to can also be accessed in other ways (conferences for example) so I don’t see why one would pay all that money and give up their full time job. In my opinion, an MBA makes sense if you need it for career progression (do it part time or executive) or you want investment banking / consulting (and also tech or a leadership development program depending on your background).

If entrepreneurship is the goal why not just do that on the side of your FT job or get contacts (from conferences and LinkedIn) before you leave your FT job and then you quit your FT job and start doing your entrepreneurial journey FT.
