The type of business experience matters tremendously. From what you’ve mentioned about your businesses so far I do not think they are what Stanford is looking for. Your application will be competing against engineers with 6-8 years experience in developing major products in the high tech industry already. Some might have progressed to management and had significant experience already in East Asia (component manufacturing, etc).

Not to be a downer, just trying to put this in perspective. Think about it, you might be competing against engineers that manage 8-10MM in capital budget each year (at my company this routine, albeit, not in high tech).
