We've used MongoDB at our SaaS and have grown to well over $1m ARR and never had an issue. Maybe if you're trying to build a massive ($B) company, starting with PostgreSQL makes more sense for you. For everything else, MongoDB works just fine. Just use the technologies that you know and can move fastest with. Startups rarely succeed/fail because of which technologies you choose to use.

If your data store is nothing but a persistence layer for an application, perhaps that makes sense. In many companies the need to regularly access the database for analytics and BI is a thing; this isn't limited to $B companies. Most of the tooling available works best with SQL databases. (Though the BI connector at https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/ https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/ looks interesting for this purpose)
