Worlds Lowest GPA but a Young Successful Entrepreneur

Hello All!
As described in the title I have a poor GPA; a 2.52. I currently am half-way done through school and I will be bringing it up aggressively but in order to put myself down the right career path I need to land a strong internship for the summer in the financial service sector.

Most places are going to screen and not even give me a look. With that said, I've successfully run a start-up in the last five years and I'm hoping to showcase that through my resume. While I believe I would have a better opportunity getting an internship in a startup or pre-ipo environment, I believe it is ultimately important (and if you disagree I'd like to know) to add a 'logo' to my resume and obtain experience in a well known location.

I am looking for any type of constructive criticism that would make my resume appear more attractive. Are the two e-commerce businesses two repetitive? How can I rephrase what I've written in a more professional and appealing way.

All I have is this resume, I have no GPA backings therefore I need it to be as strong as possible.

Any advice would be very appreciate!
