When large companies say something like "I'm hiring them for their wide-ranging intelligence.." they are usually lying their ass off but in startups that usually is true.

From my experience in startups, most of them care just as much about your 2 cents as about your LOC.

Because startups are much more malleable and prone to change their direction, strategy, market & product every input matters and sometimes you can recoup your entire hiring cost for an engineer from a single sentence he says offhand in some discussion.
