Having your blog hosted by a third party is a good idea for redundancy. You need to make sure your DNS will still resolve in the event of your startup's machines going down though. I have experience with wordpress.com and tumblr.com so I can speak to those. For wordpress.com you must have a paid account to do a lot of layout customization, which is annoying. For tumblr you have a lot more latitude in regards to customizing design, but the functionality may not be what you want for a company blog.

For wordpress.com you must have a paid account to do a lot of layout customization And I think WordPress's free defaults have not been helpful to the site of one organization I care about, where, alas, I am not the main webmaster. To make a site user-friendly (or staff-friendly, if there is staff-contributed content) takes usability study on the part of the webmaster, especially if the site is intended to promote a business with paying clients.
