M7 schools from startups

Hi All,

I am currently an investment banking analyst at Deutsche Bank (front office extension) with 2.5yrs experience and deal experience across sectors. I am from a tier 1 (IIT) undergraduate in india with decent GPA 

I am considering switching to a chief of staff role at a early age startup (Silicon VC (Matrix, seqouia etc ) funded. I wish to apply to B schools in a year or two and want to understand if this transition would be a plus for my application or anything negative compared to one more year at DB 

my work as the COS would be leading strategic initiatives, fund raising etc 

I have a 760 GMAT 

Many thanks
