🔥 Love ≠ Equity: A Brutal Truth for Married Co-Founders 💔💼 Bengaluru founder Anurag Singh just dropped some truth bombs ... Therapy won’t fix a broken cap table. Startups are hard. Marriages are harder. Combining both? Often explosive. Here’s the reality: ⚠️ 65% of startups fail due to co-founder conflict - now imagine adding marriage, kids, and EMIs to the mix. Also, only bring your partner in if you have childcare + 6 months’ cash flow sorted. 🎯 Business needs clarity. Relationships need care. Mixing them can kill both. Sure, Mamaearth’s founders made it. But for every 1 couple that scales, 10 break apart - emotionally and financially. 👉 So before you hand over equity, ask: Are we building a startup or burning a marriage?
