Personally when applying for a start-up I would never go through recruiters. I don't want to go through that process. I rather meet with the company in person over coffee and show them the work I've done and discuss things like that. If it is an early stage start-up then I want to work there because I like what the company is doing and want to be part of it.
If it can't happen on a personal level without going through millions of hoops then its already a very bad sign.

I'd go one step further and say that if a startup can't be bothered to be personal in their dealings with their potential employees, is it really a company that you even want to bother applying too? In my latest search there were jobs that looked great, but since they were with recruiters I was either leery or didnt' bother at all. Too many headaches and hoops to jump through, and in the area I'm in right now it's a buyers market for talent
