Don't deal with it. Many good points have been made here. But basically just tell your current employer on the exit interview (if they have one) that you have a new opportunity that you just can't ignore. Don't tell them anything in specific, it does you no good and honestly they don't deserve any more of your time. As someone else mentioned too, the tech community while seemingly large is not, and it is not unlikely you will run into some of these people at another place. At the same time work to not hold a grudge, some people are more weak minded (and struggle with it internally) so they go along with the culture instead of standing up to what they don't believe. That isn't calling you weak, its calling those that participate, when they know better, weak. Yes it is a character flaw to some people, but I just don't believe in holding a grudge against these people. In regards to a new employer, you never say anything derogatory about a prior employer or manager etc. Simply because they will have in their head if you are willing to do this to someone else you will do it to them if you are unhappy. So instead, play the game and just tell them that you are looking for new challenges. It is even better if you are going to Enterprise from Startup because you can say, well I wanted to gain experience in an Enterprise environment now or something along those lines. When you have a change in types of business it helps. Also if you change industry, say from B2B products to B2C products you can use that as your reason for changing. It is simple and easy and no one really questions it. Just be prepared for a follow on question about what intrigues you about the B2B or Consumer market etc. Good luck and I hope you find an environment that appreciates you soon.
