the difference is that it's pretty easy to tell a good b school (lots of objective rankings). at an early stage, it's really tough to tell a good startup- as a candidate you are at a significant disadvantage in choosing a startup employer due to the lack of available information. not saying one is better than the other, but that making that choice is far more difficult than the couple of sentences you mentioned.

On the other hand startups pay you money, B schools cost you money. With the delta easially being 300+k. So, you can take a fair amount of risk and still have the startup being a better bet.
