You have got an interesting profile. Nepal tends to be underrepresented country across most business schools. Your academics are good, ECs are pretty strong however one weak element in your profile is the test scores. Median GMAT scores across most schools that you have shown interest in will be higher than 680. By putting in a dedicated effort in improving your GMAT score, you should have a shot at some really good MBA programs.
Since you have a background in entrepreneurship, will recommend Babson as one of the strongest programs for family business and entrepreneurship. Do take a note that you will need to craft a strong story and showcase your achievements as an entrepreneur to really convince adcoms. While most schools are supportive of entrepreneurs, there can be some challenges associated with respect to the application process such as recommendations, showcasing your personal development along the journey, quantifiable achievements and impact of your role. So keep them in mind while crafting your story and your long term aspirations.
VC roles with your background maybe a bit of stretch, would recommend gaining some solid business experience and maybe pursuing your entrepreneurial goals back in Nepal post the program.
