A high GMAT can definitely outweigh a lower GPA, so from that perspective you could have a shot at top 10 schools and I would highly recommend your trying, particularly if you can cast your work experience as highly developmental. Generally, startup experience is quite rare especially if it involves successful outcomes. You should leverage the stories about your access to decision making and strategy and all the hats you likely had to wear in order to have an impact on the young companies. If you can capture their attention this way, you should be competitive even though you only have a shorter work run than most applicants to those elite schools.
