Working at a startup is never optimal economically, especially at an early stage one. There are non economical reasons why it might make sense for someone, but EV is not one of them.

Working at a startup can be a form of investing in yourself. Obviously you shouldn't invest in yourself unless you think that investment will pay off in the longterm. At the same time though, if you don't invest in yourself then it's almost certain that no one else will either.
