The thing about startups and bias is that if you have a multitiered informal hiring process, a little bit of biases can be invisible and can be multiplied over filtering stages.
The company may at one stage indeed "let's consider her" but unless the company's overall hiring is formally specified, unless your documenting and so keeping reasonably track of what you are doing, you may not know the way that biases are creeping your decisions.
Another thing about startups is they often involve a "join our company and our lifestyle" approach. That also means that you will windup with people like you.
