I've heard hiring managers question if a candidate who ran a startup before would stick with the job. Depending on how you present that experience in your resume, it may give the appearance you just want some extra income or breathing room and will bail on the job if/when the startup takes off. Hiring managers may also wonder if you will work on your startup ideas on the employer's time. I've seen resumes from 20-somethings with history like this: Intern while in university, barista, CEO (or CTO). It can look a bit ridiculous to put CEO on a resume when the company consisted of one or two people. Maybe tone that down to "self-employed."
