Hey dude,
thanks for dropping by. so first of all, I don't think you need to retake the GMAT. If you want my full thoughts on the matter have a look at this post:
to-retake-or-not-to-retake-that-is-the-question-indian-153716.htmlBut like I wrote I think in your case it's not necessary cause 1. Your GMAT is good enough 2. Your primary strengths is your firm and you should be concentrating on that.
For your profile I think HBS/Wharton might be tough, but you should be competitve for the other schools on your list. Your leadership and company size are really really fantastic and also quite unique, so I'd definitely lean heavy on those.
The low GPA is a shame, but what's done is done, and I think that if you can show how much promise your startup has for the future, you can do quite well.
I hope this helps!!!
