For a startup product to be "safe", the startup has to not go under (and many do) and also either not get acquired, or get acquired and have the product not change too drastically.
There's an awful lot higher chance of a startup product not being a "safe" buy compared to an established company to kill a somewhat popular product and you can always look at their track record before making a decision (something a startup, by definition, typically doesn't have).
