Building a Startup With Your Spouse (and Still Liking Each Other)

​Co-founding a startup is hard.
Co-founding a startup with your spouse is a whole different game.

​​In this session, I’ll share what it’s really like to build and run a company with your life partner. My wife is my co-founder, and we’ve been running our business together for 5+ years. Not theory. Not Twitter wisdom. Actual lived experience.

​​We’ll talk openly about:

• ​​How we divided roles without turning marriage into a reporting structure

• ​​What happens when business stress spills into personal life (and how we handled it)

• ​​The operational roller coasters of running a startup together over multiple years

• ​​Mistakes we made early on and what we would never repeat

• ​​Why working with your spouse can be a massive unfair advantage if done right

​​This is not a motivational talk or a polished keynote.
It’s an honest conversation about systems, boundaries, trust, and survival.

​​If you’re:

• ​​Already building something with your partner

• ​​Thinking about starting a company together

• ​​Curious whether spouse-cofounding is a power move or a pressure cooker

​​Come join the session.

​​You’ll leave with practical insights, real stories from the last five years, and a much clearer picture of what this journey actually looks like.
