Is it possible to go from part-time MBA to raising a search fund?

The main consideration here is the opportunity costs of a full-time MBA (and having no income for two years). However - is it possible or more difficult to go from part-time MBA to a search fund and why? Thanks!

I would second many of the comments made here. Definitely possible but will take some extra commitment and prioritization to juggle the different obligations of work, school, search etc.

Definitely possible and have spoken to numerous searchers that have done the same. However, it is a time consuming process so be prepared.
