Business School Thoughts

Hi everyone, I’m in a dilemma and was wondering if anyone had some insights. I’m roughly 3.5 years into my career. I graduated from a Top-10 university and spent 1.5 years working in REPE before switching to a top corp dev group in TMT that places well into business school. Eventually, I want to work at a tech startup or on the investing side (VC or growth equity). If this is my ultimate goal, will attending a top B School (hbs, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia) maximize my outcomes?
