Part-time MBA for SWE with founder dreams?

Hello, I’m a software engineer working on ML/AI products and distributed systems at a pretty strong startup.

I want to be a founder in the future. My technical skills are far better than my business acumen. I’m not an introvert by any means, but I’ve spent the last 7 years of my career managing projects and technical direction.

Do you think a part time MBA is a good way to fill the gaps? If so, any recommendations? (e.g. Michigan)
