Notes:

I really want to (almost) go all-in on my start-up during my MBA. Trying a fail-fast approach. As a backup, I would recruit for management consulting. Work in HR consulting now.

Money matters. I do not want to take a bunch of loans being that I may not make much money as a founder post-grad.

Start-up location would be SE. Consulting anywhere
