Consider the following Adam:

Your academic arc is decent enough; that coupled with above average GMAT will make for one less thing to worry about on this front. You will have to think of a clearly articulated story on the reason for an MBA after a Master's in Engg Mgmt though.
It will be critical to understand the nature of your work more. The nature of your projects and achievements therein. Consulting (Strategy/Management) to Product Management is not an unheard of transition; but there are a lot of different interpretations of Consulting especially in Deloitte/Accenture so important to understand this dimension. The startup experience is on the side I presume?
For reasons mentioned here, we do not provide gut-based school assessments. That said, I would still recommend balancing the target list a bit on the lower end overall.
Finally, any insights on the ECs dimension will be good to further get a closer view of the profile.

Overall though, good chances so go for it!

Cheers,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
