Top MBA Programs & Startup Funding

Hi All,

I am curious about how difficult it is to obtain startup funding at top MBA programs. I am unfamiliar with how funding typically works for MBA students who want to go down this path. To what extent are students on their own in raising capital for themselves? Do alumni VC firms typically step in?

For argument sake, let's define "top MBA program" as T-15 and above.
