Honestly, you don’t for the next 2-3 years. Having two kids under 2 years old is a large time and energy commitment. I would recommend prioritizing career stability until your kids are school aged. I’m not saying a startup is impossible right now, but the stage you are in right now is the highest level of difficulty. Since you have fairly concrete goals I’d recommend exploring all your options. Can you reduce expenses? Move to lower CoL area? Start building a VC network now before going all in on a new startup? Getting yourself the best launch pad possible now should make it easier in a few years. If you are enjoying your current career path I’d stick with it. I wouldn’t discount how much earning potential you have over time in your current situation.
