Those of you running VC backed startups with young kids, what is the secret? Full time caregiving spouse? Army of helpers (cleaner, nanny etc)?

idk if you figure it out lmk mostly just less sleep atm. My wife got 6mo for mat leave which was very helpful. I wish we had more help around the house (or longer hours / more responsibility for the nanny) but it's something we're still talking through.. her parents live ~10m away which helps (both still work though)

Embrace the chaos and take help anywhere you can. And having your partner fully "onboard" is critical. For us, what works [for now] is my wife being the primary parent for our two kids (5 & 1) and not working. I end up working 12+ hours most days and travel ~25% of the time. But we constantly communicate and make space for each other and our kids. Working from home really helps here (e.g. the 5 minute interactions between meetings). Also, lots of coffee - somewhere along the way you realize you don't "need" as much sleep as you thought.

We have two now. My wife stays at home. Cleaners are must have. Looking into getting a nanny and some more help in the house
