> work on a startup, I would THINK they would care about that
The decision is not made based on whether the work is a "startup" or not. It's not even clear what a startup is - some companies that are worth more than $1 Billion are still somehow "startup".
It's based on conflict of interest, legitimate business competition, leaking/selling sensitive information, and other concrete criteria, in my opinion, are quite fair.
It does not depend on whether it is a "startup" or not
