IIRC you're in the six figure range, though I don't know by how much, but 25k seems like a massive step down, especially for a lateral move to a startup company with a ton of risk and basing the decision mostly on potential (with the product and opportunity for promotion - they may tell you there's tons of fast tracking and whatnot, but unless it's in writing, it's just a gamble).

Dropping by 25k would be an immediate no from me unless I made like 200k+.

I do make 200k+

As for interviewing elsewhere. Ive been trying. Been turned down 3 other times. All because they say I am missing some skills. Skills that I am asking to learn at my current company but am being refused. Thats why Im wondering if I should just bite the bullet and take the hit. My company pays above market so options are limited.

If it doesnt work out, I have connections at top companies too. Think one in every FAANG. I just hate those companies but if I ever am in a bind I have options.
