3.07 GPA undergrad Senior @ Private nontarget Business School, w/ Startup experience

Lads, I'll be a straight shooter, what are my prospects? I'm not really sure what my value is/where I should be applying. This is not for validation, but a sense of direction and reality check. I do not mind the long hours Investment banking is known for and truly do have a curiosity for finance. I believe I am smart enough (710 math, 680 verbal SAT) to perform the job itself. IMO, my university and GPA do not display my value. I worked for/co-founded a startup junior year, which sunk my GPA from a 3.5 to a 3.1 (I simply did not care about school and was set on dropping out). Now I am a regretting senior. My stats are on my C/V which I have attached. I have pretty good work experience. Also I would be open for any finance field recommendations for work outside of IBD with similar upward potential and not purely sales related. Thank you guys, I am new and already love this community.

What happened to the start-up? Did you sell it or it sunked as well? If someone bought it, you would have a good tool to use.
