A friend of mine started VC-backed company when his 3 kids were 2-4 years of age. That was several years ago and since then the company has grown to 400+ employees, millions of paying customers and went public with the market cap of over 500 mil. Call it an "old-school" start-up if you will.
His HowTo is nannies. That freed up lots of time without making him feel like he was neglecting or taking away from his children.
YMMV however, because many people simply do not accept the very idea of letting strangers care for children of a very young age (them being the formative years of the personality and for other reasons).
- mcknz 16y agoWhat's a little weird/bizarre is when kids cry upon seeing their parents, because it means they have to leave their nanny.

"How I'm Bootstrapping a Startup While Raising Three Kids" Your friend is not raising those kids though is he? It sounds like the nannies are. The kids maybe are not being neglected but he is neglecting them. People, it seems, sometimes don't care about raising their offspring just as long as someone does. To me that is really weird, why choose to have children if you're going to get someone else to raise them?
