Startups & Entrepreneurship as an MBA

Hey WSO,
I recently finished my MBA at Berkeley Haas and was heavily involved in the entrepreneurship program there. It's definitely a tougher realm for international students—given lack of job security (and thus visa status), but I wanted to encourage applicants to think about discussing startups/business ideas in their applications.
I now work for a startup that—among other things—provides advice to MBAs looking to get into the entrepreneurship world, particularly with regard to going from 0 to 1 in building an MVP, testing with users, and rapidly iterating. If you're interested, we've written a primer to give an overview of how MBAs can get their initial idea off the ground: https://www.myntor.io/article/48a2e58b- ... 2584008a63
Take a look and let me know what you think!
