A surprisingly good article. I thought it would just rattle on the same old points, but it had a personable, fresh perspective. Thanks for posting it up.
I have always been skeptic of family being a part of the founding team of a startup. Anyone with thoughts/experience on this subject?
Life is hard as it is and if one more gets involved it will completely shake up family life unless ofcourse you are very disciplined and leave work at _work_. During financially tough patches it may impact even more as one house should not depend on such shaky source of income.

To me, my closest friends are like family (in the sense that I don't consider losing their friendship an acceptable cost, no matter the circumstances). So my advice about starting up with a friend would apply there too: http://danieltenner.com/posts/0005-starting-up-with-a-friend...
I ran my startup with my brother as an employee for about 4 months. It was nice working with him, but I found out later that he wasn't enjoying himself and avoided talking about it because he felt committed to me.
Maybe that's just my brother, but it still bothers me.
