Entrepreneur > MBA > PE... Any chance?

Lurked here for a while, but trying to get some input about the possibilities. 4 years since undergrad, started my own business and did well, but going back for MBA (mccombs) and trying to transition. Will probably focus in finance is there any PE route here or am I sol?
