I agree- I think MIT and Cornell should definitely be on your radar. I know this American who had IT background (well, probably not as unique/dynamic as your background) finished an EMBA program at Duke. I think you can do it too.
In addition the the MBA programs, I urge you to check out some other school's EMBA programs (I think MIT, Cornell, Cal Berkeley, UCLA, CMU, Duke programs might be a good starting point).

My students went to Berkeley and Cornell, CMU for undegrad study last year. Now I have 15-20 students rushing for Ivys. Wish I could be there sitting in the same food court with them.
Go for it!! Who the hell cares about your GPA when you've worked for more than ten years and started up two companies one of which is booming, especially you've also got a great GMAT to compensate it! The power of dream is a decent answer to the "why mba?" question already
nice to hear your story, i think you got a good standing point to apply for top 10 B-school, because you need a formal business education to enrich your career, and that's your dream as well. yes, go for it! and bless u !
i got 10+ years working experience, not less unique/dynamic than yours, and i'd like to chase the dream to study overseas as well. but the problem of me is that i've already got a local mba degree around 10+ years ago. Now i'm working for a company in which i'm a key person. so i don't know how to persuade Adcom to accept me. What i want is simply to learn an international perspective to go further my career, because i like challenges and keep seeking for it. i don't know whether it is a good reason or not.
