Questions:
1) I took the GMAT exam today and my score is a bit lower that I had hoped for and expected (GMAT Prep exam #1 - 740, Exam #2 - 750). Is it worth retaking the exam?
2) If I don't retake the exam, is it still possible for me to get accepted to my top choices? (Wharton, Tuck, Kellog, Booth, Ross and Sloan)
3) Any advice on applications?
4) Should I stress my start-up experience even though it about 1.3 years?

Yes, I believe it is worthwhile to retake the GMAT since your practice scores are so much higher. You are almost certainly going to boost your score, which is essential to differentiate yourself from the myriad engineers applying.
Your extracurricular contributions are excellent and should be highlighted in the application. My one concern about these programs is a possible lack of leadership in your professional career. You may need to diversify and apply to a wider range of programs.
