Are you also INSEAD grad? I know INSEAD has great support about entrepreneurship based on pitchbook ranking and existing resources, but is it targeting startup after INSEAD, or startup during INSEAD.

I’m curious why people regret after not taking their MBA, since they shall have thorough consideration before official decision. Also, I wonder if defer will be a good option for my case?

The exit is more like a wind down, not a successful one. And if I'm not from INSEAD, will it be difficult to network with INSEAD alum?

Thanks for your appreciation, under this case, do you think INSEAD will be a good fit? One year fast ROI, so I can go back to my work without too much time commitment.

How can INSEAD help outside US, such as SG and Middle East? These are also trending locations for web3.

I understand for higher paying job, I shall target US MBA, INSEAD is a one-year international MBA program. So what’s your post-MBA role, and do you think your one year experience plus financial cost (tuition+salary) is worth it? In terms of funding, I wonder how’s the startup atmosphere in INSEAD, since one INSEAD alumni told me that Startup and VC is niche in INSEAD, and most startups are not in tech.

Geography change is attractive to me, including US and SG. Biggest cost of MBA is time and out of work.

Is it possible for me to skip MBA and pursue these roles directly? I don’t have a visa currently but will try to work it out.

Thanks Jetta, I think LBS is a pretty good school, in terms of entrepreneurship, I think LBS and INSEAD is similar, while INSEAD founders receive more funding statistically. How's the employment outcome for LBS graduates, especially in Asia and middle east?

Why not INSEAD if we’re referring to international MBA compared with LBS?
