My co-founder is my boyfriend: How we made it work
- mathattack 12y agoI'm not sure I believe it until I see a successful exit. Did the companies succeed? Did the relationship succeed? (The latter is a tough one to measure since marriage isn't for everyone) These aren't meant to be snarky - Please share if you have more info.
- ccarnino 12y agoOur company is still a work in process, but we've got paying customers and 5 on 5 as average review of the product (http://apps.shopify.com/fanchimp http://apps.shopify.com/fanchimp), plus two seed rounds of funding. Sentimentally we've been together for 7 years, working as co-founders for about 5 now. We're happy and we're focused long term. I hope to have replied to your doubts. ;)
- mathattack 12y agoGreat on both counts!
- nicolettad 12y agoThanks for the comment, yes we're still working on the startup and you're right, there aren't any big success with two co-founder in a relation. Although my friends at AgentPiggy and http://www.gym-pact.com/ http://www.gym-pact.com/ are going pretty well.

There's an article where Julia explains how they make it work here: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-marry-your-cofounder-and-not-kill-your-200-million-startup-or-each-other-in-the-process-2012-2 http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-marry-your-cofounder-a... .
