I would say that if one does not have experience with an enterprise stack they should really choose to work with one irrespective of whether they are a startup or no. Your startup will probably fail anyway. The experience you get is the only thing that you'll be left with. And if you chose to work with chicken-scheme and what not, good luck putting that on your CV.

Most "enterprise" stacks introduce complexity that isn't ever going to be needed really early on, and in general that slows down initial development, and the road to something that does its' job. Many of them are over-engineered and a bad fit, used badly too often. Of course the alternative is understanding your problem domain and picking appropriate tools and approaches instead of using (insert .Net or Java framework here) for everything.

On the contrary, choosing Erlang for your startup seems to make enterprises nearly salivate to hire you.
