I'd even say MBA's are often detrimental to those entering startups.
1. It's expensive, increases the need for a low-risk/ high-pay job (i.e. consulting) once you graduate
2. As the article says, it increases expectations wrt. compensation, but also authority (most MBA's wouldnt want to start out as entry-level biz dev as a startup).
3. You don't learn enough about technology businesses.
Overall, an MBA doesn't help you "get" startups, but often convinces you that you do.
