I currently use PHP and ZendFramework at a startup that I'm working at right now. However, I definitely think the workflow could use some work and that combined with my aspirations to be a well rounded web developer has led me towards other web frameworks. I currently love the startup atmosphere and don't plan to ever work for a large corporation. Do you think that there is any place for Play Framework in the startup scene? For example if myself and a couple excellent Java programmers from my school tried to apply to an incubator, would we be taken seriously or written off immediately just because we picked Java for our language of choice?

Kudos for not wanting to work for a big corp, though sometimes they choice isn't yours. Your current startup might get acquired by IBM then you become an IBMer:) I would like to think incubators care more about what you are doing than your platform of choice. At worse they may recommend you switch to some other platform, but no, I don't think any incubator worth being a part of would look down on you just because of your choice of platform. If Java is the best platform for a product then by all means that's the choice you should make. For instance if you want to build a product that may need to be integrated with other products then that would need to be factored into your platform of choice.
