"10 Power Couples in Tech\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Marissa Mayer &amp; Zack Bogue\n\nMarissa Mayer recently became CEO of Yahoo, taking on the ominous task (or opportunity) of turning around the struggling company. She rose to fame as an early Google employee. She frequently acted as a public face of the company and was credited with the minimalist Google.com homepage. \nHer husband Zack Bogue is co-managing partner at investment fund Data Collective, which as you might guess, invests in big data startups. The pair lives in San Francisco.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Fred &amp; Joanne Wilson\nFred and Joanne Wilson met in college. Both are prolific bloggers (his and hers) and NYC investors. Fred is managing partner at Union Square Ventures and Flatiron Ventures, while Joanne is an angel investor who started her career in retail and as a department store buyer. Her investments span across industries, and more than half are from female founders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Sheryl Sandberg &amp; Dave Goldberg\n\nAlthough she\u2019s most well-known as Facebook\u2019s second in command (she joined as COO in 2008), Sheryl Sandberg previously worked as an executive at Google, for the United States Treasury Department and the World Bank after attending Harvard Business School. She is also on the board of Starbucks and Walt Disney.\nDavid Goldberg started his first company, LAUNCH, at age 26 and sold it to Yahoo. He is currently CEO of SurveyMonkey. \nBoth leave work at 5:30 p.m. to be with their two kids.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Sergey Brin &amp; Anne Wojcicki\n\nAnne Wojcicki worked in healthcare investing for 10 years before co-founding 23andMe, a source for personal genetic information. \nSergey Brin is the co-founder of Google. With co-founder Larry Page, Brin rented a garage from Anne's sister Susan Wojcicki when the company got too big for its Stanford dorm room. Susan now holds a senior position at Google. \nBrin and Wojcicki were married in 2007 and have one son.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Kevin Rose &amp; Darya Pino \n\nKevin Rose was on the cover of BusinessWeek in 2006 for his success with Digg, but he says he\u2019s made most of his money through angel investing (exits include OMGPOP and About.me). Now he is a venture partner at Google Ventures. \nHis fianc\u00E9 Darya Pino is more than a food blogger -- she has a Ph.D in neuroscience, which is evident in much of the content on her site Summer Tomato and other places her writing appears. The property was named one of the 50 best websites of 2011 by Time. Here\u2019s one for the season -- check out \u201CBetter Than Butternut: Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe.\u201D \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Brit Morin &amp; Dave Morin \n\nDave Morin worked at Apple, then Facebook, before co-founding mobile startup Path, a social network that keeps you connected with close friends and family. \nHis wife Brit Morin was a product marketing manager at Google before launching Brit + Co., a DIY blog turned lifestyle brand. She recently launched an app called Weduary that allows couples to not only build wedding websites, but also to manage RSVPs, registries and event locations, which hints the Brit brand will be more about building lifestyle-centered apps than home linen designs. \nThe couple was married in July 2011.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Victoria Ransom &amp; Alain Chuard\n\nAlain Chuard runs product while Victoria Ransom manages the business of Wildfire, their second startup, which was sold to Google earlier this year. A B2B social media firm, Wildfire was rumored to have sold for around $250 million. The couple\u2019s first company was Access Adventure Travel. Chuard has an MBA from Stanford, while Ransom completed her MBA at Harvard. \nThey\u2019ve said in interviews that their personal relationship has little impact on their work relationship. \"When we're at work, no one would even know we're engaged,\" Ransom said. \"It's not relevant. When we do disagree, we take it offline.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Rashmi Sinha &amp; Jon Boutelle\n\nRashmi Sinha and Jon Boutelle are a husband and wife team that met while working in consulting. The pair co-founded SlideShare together. In 2008, Rashmi was named one of the \"Most Influential Women in Web 2.0\" by Fast Company. \nSlideShare was founded in 2006 and was acquired by LinkedIn for $119 million earlier this year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Keith Shepherd &amp; Natalia Luckynanova\n\nWhen Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckynanova got married, they talked about starting a business together. When Apple launched the App Store, they saw a golden opportunity. They started making games and had a few hits before releasing Temple Run, which reportedly earned over 40 million downloads last March and brought in 10 times the revenue, once they made the app free, thanks to in-app purchases. \nShepherd and Luckynanova live in Washington, D.C. Their artist and third member of the team (on the far left) is Kiril Tchangov. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Paul Graham &amp; Jessica Livingston\n\nPaul Graham is a computer programmer who built early ecommerce software Viaweb in 1995 and sold to Yahoo for an estimated $49 million, whereupon it became Yahoo Stores. \nWith Jessica Livingston, Graham cofounded Y Combinator, a seed accelerator in Mountain View, Calif. that invests small amounts in founding teams and provides three-month boot camps in exchange for 2-10% equity. \nLivingston was previously VP of marketing at an investment bank and is author of Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days. The couple was married in 2008. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo matter how many years since we've finished high school, it seems like we\u2019re always looking for the next homecoming king and queen. When it comes to the tech industry, there\u2019s no shortage of power couples in Silicon Valley and beyond. They meet a variety of ways \u2014 at blogging conferences, through a friend of a friend or through a sister, when she rents her garage to two guys working on a startup (\u2026called Google). \nThe running themes in all these couples? Talent, intelligence and quest for world domination. \n\nSEE ALSO: 10 Dating Apps to Help You Find True Love\nWhile Fred Wilson is known for his investments in Tumblr, Twitter and Foursquare, his wife Joanne Wilson has a collection of angel investments of her own. Husband-and-wife duo Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston not only inspire and equip early-stage startups at Y Combinator \u2014 they own a piece of all the companies that go through the program (including Airbnb, Dropbox and Reddit). Ex-Googler Brit Morin didn't just start a blog \u2014 she's taking on Martha Stewart to show us a present-day homemaker, complete with apps, gadgets and work schedules. Her husband Dave Morin's startup, Path, could be deemed a mobile-first Facebook alternative. \nWhen paired, these couples are super influential. But the synergy between a duo who possesses the drive to change the world we live in, for the better, is inspiration for us all."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
