MiM is going to be easier to get into, and since it sounds from your goals like you won't need access to top recruiters, you could get what you need from an MiM program. The big bonus with MBA is that you can get hired or recruited by top companies, but if your goal is to do your own thing, you won't need that benefit. Hope this helps.

Babson offers 1 year MBA Programs and is a great place to learn more about startup and family entrepreneurship. They also have a fast track program that is 21 months and very intensive.
