Answer:
Organization can't be ITIL accredited, only ISO 20000. If you, as an organization, would like to show excellence in IT Service Management (ITSM) - ISO 20000 is the right way to do it.
However, if you don't need (ISO) certificate - just implementing ITIL (usually, only part of it) is also right way to go.
Startup - sure, why not. But, resource wise, you will need certain amount of people (employees) to be involved. Namely, e.g. for ISO 20000 implementation, you need to implement various processes and usually, some of the process managers can't be (or, it's not advisable to ) combined.

Assuming you have defined the scope (since you are startup, most probably - whole organization, but read the article "How to define the scope of the SMS in ISO 20000" https://advisera.com/20000academy/blog/2015/06/02/how-to-define-the-scope-of-the-sms-in-iso-20000/ to help yourself) and certification body, you can use this free implementation diagram to guide you through implementation:

This article will help you with documentation structure "How to structure ISO 20000 documentation" https://advisera.com/20000academy/blog/2016/09/27/how-to-structure-iso20000-documentation/
This free material will provide you with different implementation options:
