In a LinkedIn post, the Clearco co-founder discussed the potential tradeoffs involved with launching a company with a romantic partner. “While some people say that starting a business with your romantic partner and co-founder is risky and complex, I’d argue the opposite,” Romanow wrote. (The Logic)
Talking point: Romanow became the company’s CEO last month after she and co-founder Andrew D’Souza announced they were no longer dating; D’Souza, previously Clearco’s CEO, took on the role of executive chair. In her post, Romanow said the pandemic and changes in the couple’s lifestyle led to challenges, adding that she and D’Souza maintain a strong professional relationship and speak daily. “It’s a false narrative in society that the end of a relationship means the end of a partnership or friendship,” she wrote.
