Your first lesson as an entrepreneur:
Your last paragraph is exactly what NOT to do. You will need every single ounce of resources (time, energy, attention) for your start-up. The only reason to ever do anything above the call of duty as someone else's employee is to learn it for yourself.
Start your planning on how you will extract yourself from your current employment, going part time or as a contractor. You will need every spare nanosecond for your startup.
And don't sign anything. (If you already did, get a risk assessment from a lawyer.)
