In the startup world, couples in business together often face stigma GlobeSmallBiz

Andrew D’Souza says he and partner Michele Romanow, both seen here on Nov. 9, 2018, chose to launch business financing firm Clearbanc 'because it was the best founding team we could put together. … We didn’t start the company because it was convenient.'When Alanna Harvey and Cristian Villamarin first started their company, they weren’t sure how much to share about their personal relationship.

They’ve also heard comments such as, “I don’t know how you do it. I couldn’t imagine starting a business with my partner,” said Mr. Villamarin, the company’s chief executive. Andrew D’Souza says he and partner Michele Romanow chose to launch business financing firm Clearbanc “because it was the best founding team we could put together. … We didn’t start the company because it was convenient.” As such, the couple wants investors to see the business on its merits – it grew from 40 staff members to 200 last year, and each partner has extensive entrepreneurship experience.

For other founder couples, bringing work home at all is a challenge to be carefully managed. When Erin Bury took over as CEO at Willful, an online will company founded by her husband Kevin Oulds, she says numerous people warned her to make sure the couple made time for themselves that wasn’t work-related. Even so, when the company spent four months last year in an accelerator program, the couple experienced a rocky period in the relationship related to how hard they were working.
