It is definitely possible and I do this on a daily basis. I work from home, have 2 kids and have founded two startups. It's not without its challenges that's for sure...
Here is a post I wrote for parents in the same situation as me: http://maplebutter.com/superhero-tricks-for-startup-parents/
And here is another post I did last week summarizing 20 great articles on this topic: http://jeff.io/posts/20-inspirational-articles-for-startup-parents
I am always keen to read comments when these kinds of posts hit HN. We are not alone STARTUP PARENTS!!! :)

Unfortunately I gave this talk as an exclusive favor to the 500 Startup companies. I may decide to mod it a bit for public consumption - but there was a lot of "inside stuff" that I'm not comfortable sharing publicly. As we iterate, I'll be sure to share more and more.
P.S. I blog at http://www.maplebutter.com
