Not until the processes are set. In today's world if you have your Workflows set you can make sure that whatever you do at your current office can in someway be leveraged to set the stage for your startup.

With a fixed salary and less things to worry about you can in fact spend more time on settings things up so that when you finally take the plunge you can hit the ground running.

Be upfront with your founders(or somebody in your chain of reporting who is understanding enough) about your ambitions and how you are considering the stay at this current company as a primer for you want to do in future. Startup founders like those with startup mentality and those who own things up.
