Pretty much this. At a cube job you work for managers, at a startup you work for VC investors.

At a startup you work for customers, if you're doing it right. The VC investors are there to accelerate your growth. If you find you're working for VC investors, you took VC too early and you have a very tight tightrope to walk to get to profitability.
