by You are the lead developer/CTO of a new and shiny Startup.

For example, if you have 5 years of runway, it might be OK to choose a technology you are not very familiar with and hire some strong developers to assist you.

If you have an open-source project or at least some libraries that can give you features out of the box and they are written in a certain language, or if you have legacy code you can base on, it might be worthwhile to stick to using this specific stack or at least do a thorough check of how much functionality can be implemented with zero to minimal customization.

If you are not an expert on the particular tech stack you intend to choose, it's always helpful to have commercial support to assist you.
