Yes. Because of the unique shape of our business (growing & profitable but not unicorn) it didn’t fit the needs of some of our investors. For those, we did buy back their investment. For others, they were fine sticking around and seeing where it headed. Def appreciate all the support we’ve gotten from all of our investors, but sometimes the company and investor needs change.
I mean, I was mostly trolling 
. For the most part I think it’s worth it, especially if you start your business while at school. You can directly apply some of the material (not much) but more importantly, you can make use immediately of the network you’re building (with peers, professors, alumni, etc.). Plus everyone wants to help a student out.
The network I’ve built has already led to opportunities that have returned the tuition “investment” many times over. If you can minimize the opportunity cost of an MBA (by starting your biz at the same time, its a no brainer).
