Great variety there, buddy. In your startup experience, did you get involved in business development activities as well, or was it mainly project execution?

MBA Fields of Interest
* Software Product Management, Software Product Strategy, Mgmt Consulting in Tech Domain
Good to have all three on the 'MBA interest' plate. But when it comes to career choice, and for your MBA application you'll have to prioritise and narrow it down to one, as each of these would require a slightly different set of skills.

Interested Schools
* INSEAD, Sloan, Stanford, Haas, ISB,.... (still trying to see best fit for fields of interest)
All good programs. But you might be too old for Stanford and too young for Sloan. For schools like INSEAD, ISB you'd still be older than the average guy getting in, but still not so bad a stretch.
Conspicuous by their absence - many European bschools where you'd fit in better. Intentionally?
