That wording doesn't sound very attractive. Down right scary actually.

  Which part? The 80+ hour a week part, or the wanting people with family part? I think the OP's point was that killing yourself at a startup is a young person's game, and he still wants to hire people more experienced people with families who are looking for ~40 hours. That would unusual in many startups, so I think it is worth mentioning. How would you say it better?

    "Us founders are blitzing 80+ hours a week." This is where most people with a family would stop reading. "If you're young and energetic, come join us." That is border-line ageist. The rest is a half-hearted apology that won't entice a normal person to want to work in the advertised conditions.
