This would only make sense if you're working for an established company that can burn a few extra months early on. For a startup the runway might be too short. In this case you have no idea if your product is even going to exist a year later so it seems a bit premature to be worrying about the possibility of rewrites.

My experience is a software always takes much longer than expected, if your startup will fail if you run a few months over then you may as well go and place all your money on black at the casino. You need to get into a position were you can run 1 year over and still survive i.e. have other income while working on your startup.
