I do a lot of interviewing

is spot on. I would also say 2 jobs in 4 years is ok, but if you have nothing but two year stints - I treat that as a negative.

I agree. Any given shortish stint can be for one of a million reasons. Two can just be luck of the draw especially in startup world. But at some point, things become patterns and, unless you're OK with the pattern, it's probably foolish to think that things will be different this time.
