Careers after IB? Start-up focus (non-finance)

Been in IBD for 4 years (London, boutique mm bank). Now considering exit options, but not traditional i.e. PE/HF/BB/etc.

For those who have moved on and joined start-ups, what did you apply for?

I believe IBD gives us a very scare skillset at such a young age so would like to leverage that into a role that is non finance related (think Chief of Staff, Sales (Account Directors, Partnerships, etc) or Strategy) with a view to be a CEO eventually. 

The more traditional corporate path seems to be FC/FD or Corp dev, ultimately ending up as CFO (and potential move to CEO later on).

"I believe IBD gives us a very scare skillset"

"scare" or "scarce"?
