Is this 1-3 year employment cycle due to working at startups and they're going out of business, or is this jumping ship for a pay raise?

If it's the latter, you don't have to switch jobs every 1-3 years, you can find a stable company and stick with them for the long haul. You may not get paid as well as the job hoppers, but you're probably making considerably more money then you would in academia, even tenured.

Many "stable" companies are still laying people off. There aren't as many companies one can "stick with for the long haul" as there used to be.
