There are many ranges of startups. I've been able to do one with a toddler and kids and a full time job. It's a light one, and I just had to sacrifice some entertainment time and get up earlier. Lockdown has given me more time too.

There's plenty of examples of lighter companies you can do on Indie Hackers. But generally, it's the ones which aren't profitable enough to be seed funded or too risky to the point that you wouldn't jump into it full time. If you're making a SaaS or a Instacart, you won't be able to manage that part time.

Some old problems might be worth it. For example, Android still doesn't have a good note taking app. It's a problem old enough that nobody is going to fund it.

And if it doesn't work out, at least you've done a little research and can get a head start once your kids are a little older.
