put your actions within a $timeout... like what you do with $apply, so your code will run after $digest finished it's process...

like this:

link: function (scope, el, attr, ctrl) { //Ctrl will bind to required ones
                //ctrl[0] -> ngModel
                $timeout(function() {
                    scope.parentId = ctrl[0].$viewValue;
                    scope.startUp();
                }, 0);
            }
