We are often told that a startup should have its IP secured before any serious funding can be secured. But applying for patents seems rather costly and time-consuming. As a technology startup, we are at the same time told that we should launch ASAP. Isn't this a contradiction? What measures should we take to balance a good legal position for our IP without harming our momentum too much?

As Steven wrote, the disclosure of a provisional application has to provide a solid basis for the patent applications that will rely on it. A properly-done prior art search will give you an idea of how applications for similar inventions are written. How wide and thorough your description should be (it will also help in emphasizing the differences between your invention and the prior art).
