This is absolutely true. I work for a YC-backed startup and sometimes felt like that "star in the sky" wasn't there, and worried that my lack of faith was disturbing (to quote movies). Thankfully, the founders here are open enough that I was able to voice my concerns, and it turns out that I had a totally incorrect idea of the product/market fit that they were/are aiming for. As a core member of the dev team, this could have been a potentially catastrophic misunderstanding. So yeah, everyone being on the same page and seeing that same goal is really crucial.
