I was 1 of 4 co-founders of https://www.ordoro.com https://www.ordoro.com that we started just as I got a job at http://www.bazaarvoice.com http://www.bazaarvoice.com. Both companies are B2B but we're in totally different spaces and market sizes.
I was very upfront about my startup with Bazaarvoice. They were genuinely very excited about my potential success. I was often asked by directors or C-levels how things were going. I recently bumped into the CEO Brett Hurt and he asked me how my startup was doing. I wouldn't have been able to work as hard as I did on Ordoro without all the great support.
I think a big part of starting up while being employed is doing well at your day job. You need to make sure you're doing well there so they can be supportive. If they're having to pick up your slack, they won't be so happy about your new venture.
Good luck!
