Intolerance for mediocrity. Great start-up cultures are psychically rewarding for A players and thoroughly awful for those who are not pulling their weight. Instead of performing to the least common denominator, great start-up cultures quickly reject those who are not meeting a high bar. Those who remain revel in the fact that they are surrounded by colleagues who are as good or, in many cases, better than they are.
