So, in this story we have the tale of Bloomfire, a company founded in 2010 that mashes up YouTube, Yahoo Answers, and Facebook.
I'm currently in a startup operation myself, and I can relate to where you are coming from and your boss. I'm an owner in my situation, which seems to make a pretty big difference on the level of time I'm willing to sacrifice for the company to be successful than some of my employees.
As a principle, this should just be another exercise in cost/benefit analysis for you. Is it worth it to you to sacrifice that time with your family to make this company successful? If it's not, start looking elsewhere. If you believe fully in the company, and there is some feeling that you'll be rewarded if it is successful, get it in writing. Also realize that your employees will do the same thing. You may not lose any headcount, but you'll have to be creative in finding ways to not torpedo your morale.
These mashup sites aren't my cup of cocoa, but maybe you think you can add something original.
One principle is to do your best to not give up your most valuable asset (time) for nothing in return. As a fellow BYU grad (assuming I stalked you down accurately), my advice is to talk it over with your family and pray about it.
Good luck!
