Go for HBS Round 1 or improve 700 GMAT score and apply for Round 2?

Hello, everyone,

First thank you all in advance for your guidance. Below are my stats:

Undergrad: 4.0 GPA in two degrees in finance and economics from a small private liberal arts college
GMAT 700 (Q49 V36 IR5)
Work Experience: I began my career in corporate finance and IB, then went to strategy consulting after graduation. I worked in the US, Europe, Africa, and the Middle-East. Now I run an education technology social enterprise that uses technology as a mean to democratize quality education and break free from traditional high cost models.
Other professional activities: I have been a contributor/commentator on a variety of topics, mainly monetary economic policy on several international news networks. I have published several white papers on academic and professional journals (e.g., HBR). I sit on the board of a few startups and international NGOs. I have been designated by WEF as an expert on education technology.
Awards: Forbes 30 under 30, "Nobel Prize" for education finalist among a few others
Recommendations: One from my former supervisor, an HBS alum and the second is from a mentor of over 10+ years who is a HKS alum.
Post-MBA plans: scaling up my social enterprise and impact investing.

My main question is the following. Should I wait until Round 2 and spend the next couple of weeks working on improving my GMAT score or just apply before the deadline for Round 1. My main issue with the GMAT has been timing, particularly on verbal (I usually make 2-3 mistakes on the first 28 questions, but have to quickly guess the remaining before time elapses). While I was disappointed with my verbal score, my scores have been all over the place. With some practice, I may be able to bring my score to 720.

Thank you once again for your insights.
