Startups are a gamble, they offer the chance to grow with the company with hopefully a modest paycheck, or they go under. Then, if they survive and as they take root their labor groups can negotiate better packages. Also I refer to startups as in Virgin America or Jetblue, a stand alone company offering their own product. Both companies I've heard are good to work for, but don't pay top dollar.
