I'll add my dissent. I've consulted with 4 different startups in the past few months. And they're not afraid to hire entry level.

However, they seem to run into problems when they want to find senor people to mentor the entry level hires. Entry level developers are rarely able to lead a team much less handle the various technology decisions of the contemporary tech startup.

Well sure, but they shouldn't have to. That's why it's called "entry level." I've never heard of entry-level management or team leads!
