If there is anything I've learned in my career at multiple startups, it's this: credentials have little-to-zero effect on success.
The fact that a person might have an MBA, or a PhD, or a commercial driver's license (I hired an awesome dev who had one of these), has zero correlation to success or failure.
In my experience, what matters is the person, not the label.
