Comment on Ask HN: How to balance a full time job, family and founding a startup?parent

Comments

I have kids, now teens, and I have been running start-ups since long before they were born, and sometimes financed those start-ups by working fairly full-time for clients alongside.

I started my first business before uni, and at uni I regularly worked 18h days and had people work from my room during the day. There was a lot of hard work at times. Maybe a difference was that I put off having kids until quite late, so while things weren't easy, I had a glimpse of stability and agreed with my partner that we could cope!

I do know that I'm not a superhero.
