Shouldn't OwinStartupAttribute run before glob

问题:

I need to run code before application start and up until now I have used WebActivator to do that but if I understand correctly the OwinStartupAttribute is more suitable for that but the problem for me is that it runs after Application_Start in Global.asax, is this correct or can I configure it to run pre application start?

According to this answer it runs slightly after Application_Start. So if you, just like me need to run code before Application_Start, WebActivator is still the way to go I guess. Do I need a Global.asax.cs file at all if I'm using an OWIN Startup.cs class and move all configuration there?
