some very interesting aspects to your candidacy, the only weakness appears to be the quant side of your GMAT. If you can retake that and improve, then I would say you should shoot for the moon, in terms of applications, if not, well you might still be able to gain admissions at the very top schools. Of course, I would wonder why you are leaving the startup after a shortish period of time, but as long as your story makes sense, and you can demonstrate impact wherever you have been, you are in good shape. cheers, alex
