The fact that there is a 90 day window probably is not volunteered when the job offer is made, and asking about what will happen after you leave the company isn't something most people are comfortable doing in a job interview. It's hard for market forces to correct this when the information is not readily available to prospective employees.

Employers, in fact, often count on the candidate feeling too nervous that they will look bad to ask about negotiating a severance benefit. However, in start-ups in particular where someone being wrong about growth or certain forecasts can mean significant risk of short term layoffs, almost at any time, getting a severance agreement is quite important. And if the company won't do it, because they think you're somehow trying to game the system for your severance benefit, or because they say something dumb like, "well, no one else has asked for a severance benefit" -- then you know it's probably a company to avoid.
