I don't work in a start up (hope to one day). We use Agile - had been using Scrum, just moving to Kanban. I find Kanban A LOT better for a cross discipline team (editorial, UX and tech) - but not been using it that long. Yes it's working for us in a very large company, in a smaller privately owned company, where everyone's ass is on the line, maybe it wouldn't be so useful. I do see the boards (scrum/kanban) as being a great way to surface what is happening in the team, to answer questions and show bottle necks. But in a smaller team that should just happen. I think it can be used 'wrongly' to try to control teams, but i see it as a stakeholder management tool - "ok so you want that extra feature, lets go put that in the backlog, hum now see how our dates move? Ok you do, great, so what is your priority (considering we have fixed time)..."
