Do startups do background checks?

I'm attempting to jump on the tech startup bandwagon. how rigorous are the background checks for these startups? I can't imagine it to be that rigorous, but it's hard to believe a sector that is so hot right now would just hire anyone who lies and writes they have a 4.0 GPA and worked at McKinsey.
