Hey bbarr127 -- thanks for reaching out. Generally a 710 is good enough for UCLA / USC. It's in range for both schools and close (but a bit below) their averages (714/716). But they don't just look at the overall score, they do look closely at Quant as many courses are quant-based. So that low Quant score does worry me. Did you take, and do well in, Quant courses in college? Is your current work quantitative in nature? If yes to both then it may be less of a concern, but would still consider retaking to see if you can increase that Quant score. If no, then I'd definitely wait to apply til you can show more quant strength -- either via a higher score or additional coursework.
Remember too that your GMAT is looked at in combination with your GPA to gauge your academic strength. While the Ivy League experience is a plus, 3.0 will be below their averages / at the low end of the middle 80% of the class.
Curious though about the company you started, that sounds intriguing! Is it enough to outweigh these weak points? Possibly, but hard to know!
Good luck!

In my opinion, this score is okay to apply but it's not good enough to impress, especially if your Quant. score is low.
But, if you're not confident about this score, you still can apply first and retake GMAT. In my friend's case, she negotiated with the school that she could improve her GMAT score in the second take. The admin board accepted this.
Goodluck.
