Paid or unpaid, that's not the issue. I genuinely don't think there's enough time in the week to try this. Do you not know the hours bankers work AND the hours startups work? 

I mean, nothing about it is illegal unless it's in your employment contract, but I can guarantee it is somewhere in there, and I can't imagine any startup would want to bring you in considering the fact most startups work their people to the bone and most IB firms work their people to the bone. You don't have that many bones. You would need more bones, which is not something you can get on short notice.
