I spent years knocking MBAs as a waste of time until I did one & had
to eat my words ... best educational experience I ever had. But I
agree with Geoff -- most MBA programs don't focus anywhere near as
much on the sorts of things that matter to startups in their early
phases. These days the best MBA programs include a lot of emphasis on
entrepreneurship, but the emphasis is usually on strategy and the DNA
of successful startups than the nuts and bolts of financial
management.

+1 for me for the seminar ... and an extra +1 on the idea of turning
this from a single workshop into something of a bit more lasting
permanence. If the material is worthwhile it's something we should be
capturing and making available to all SBers ... it's stuff like this
that can really make a difference to the Australian startup community.
