The underlying belief to this is, is that more hours = more results = better results. I highly doubt that this is the truth.

That's not the underlying belief in a startup. It's more like: we have not fully figured out market fit. We may need to build something very very quickly (I'm talking about hours/days, not weeks/months) and then maintain them for while.
That's why I say "work smarter not harder" can fail - that only works if you make assumptions about the future, in a startup that can only take you so far.
