Does having a relatively low gpa (2.5-2.8) matter with research?

thank you! I just want to set myself up in a position where I can effectively work with/ manage/ guide people more than just be an engineer if I stay within the field. Though the bigger goal is to try and get a more business oriented career that is amplified by an engineering degree yk? When it comes to moving along projects and keeping things in order I accel more than just being given a task and doing it (which I am still able to do without issue). In a plethora of situations (including and outside academia/ work) i naturally find myself fitting into a leadership/ mentor position.

But the ultimate goal is to do something start-up related whether its working for one or spearheading one.
