I worked for startups since 6 years ago and even though each was slightly different all had one thing in common - the most important thing was to serve the customer. The only thing we could do was to try to keep everything as flat and as decoupled as possible so we can refactor when time allows (which, by the way, was very rare). I used to think working for startups means to make informed decisions between quality and time to market resulting in finding some mysterious sweet spot - I am yet to find one..
