Let’s remember that a job is an arrangement where you are paid for work on an ongoing basis. If you choose to work for a startup, you assume the risk that this work opportunity will go away. But if that happens, the salary you already earned isn’t lost. You are not getting screwed on the trade where you give x hours and receive y dollars.

Working for a biotech startup instead of a big company, you accept this risk for the chance of a payoff in an acquisition.

Now, if your startup isn’t making payroll, GTFO.
