I dated my co-founder for 7 years. We just broke up, but still working together. It hurts, but the company needs both of us. Anybody ever managed to pull that off ?

OP here : one month in. It's working pretty ok so far. Very surprising, but we have found a balance.

So far so good.

I hope you have your life sweet now. At least you are trying to do something for yourself. Do live your life to the fullest and let go the sadness or burden that has been covering your smile.

I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.

I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won’t touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I’d be fully funded by now.

I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can’t get over the way we met.

Have worked for 4 startups that all crashed and burned for unrelated reasons not having to do with me. I now consult for cash only, and I can’t imagine working as an employee again. I’m happier and richer. Am I alone?
