Leaving BB IBD - impact on application

Hi,
I am an IBD analyst at a BB. Have completed two years. My goal post-MBA is to enter the technology industry in a management or corp fin capacity, but currently my IBD industry group is not focused on tech. Have an opportunity now to join a tech start-up in a senior role where I would manage 10+ employees, have increased responsibility, etc. Would staying at an established brand name company (the BB) for another year as an analyst look better on my MBA application? The start up is at the early stages so does not have the same "cache" as say a DropBox, EverNote, etc. so my worry is that it would be seen by the AdCom as a "step down" from a BB. Any candid advice would be appreciated.
Best,
