In my opinion, startups aren't the problem when it comes to design - large corporations are. If I had a pound for every time I've had to fight to include budget for design work in work in a project for FTSE 100 clients, I could start my own VC fund. Why do I need design in my org chart? Process diagram? Status report? Business case? SDLC? Agile framework? Whatever... The best solution I heard of was the concept of a "Simplicity Tsar" - a C-level independent observer with the power of veto on any product (internal or external) that doesn't make the user's life simpler. It's a shame more corporations don't buy into this idea.
