That makes sense, since most startups are technology users, rather than technology seller. e.g. for a startup selling tools/middleware, technology market-share is customer market-share.
Thinking further, startups might be early-adopters of new technology, that will eventually become mainstream. But it doesn't seem to be a reliable predictor, since many (most) new technologies don't reach critical mass before being replaced by the next new thing. eg. ASN.1 binary serialization format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Syntax_Notation_One
