FAANG + Uber companies hire former founders - as long as they have credible work behind them - which you do. Each has hardware divisions, if you are so inclined. But bizdev is agnostic of domain, like you said.

Source: I had started startups that eventually folded, worked for 2 of these FAANGU companies right after. The interviews also tend to cover the "what were your learnings from the slide in demand" aspect of the startups.

With 10+ years, are you targeting job roles that match up to your skills and experience? Wouldn't a Director of BizDev be more apt for you?

In one respect a director-level role is more appropriate, but the other side is that all I've done is lead a small team with a very small budget. That's not typically comparable to the responsibilities at BigCo. The more senior positions also tend to be very formalized and process oriented, which I know nothing about. My process has always been, "Nothing like X exists and I think people will buy it for Y-dollars".
