About the book
Brad Feld and Amy Batchelor write about a strain many entrepreneurial couples know: constant motion, scarce time and long stretches apart. Feld, an entrepreneur turned venture capitalist based in Boulder, Colorado, draws on his own experience with his wife, Amy, and on more than twenty years as an entrepreneur and early-stage investor. The book gathers examples from real couples in which one partner is an entrepreneur and the relationship has thrived, along with what works for them. Its practical advice covers adapting to change, riding out the ups and downs of startup life, and setting aside workaholic habits. There is no secret formula for these relationships, the authors concede, but there are ways to make them easier to navigate.
AnneMarie Schindler, founder of Small Wins Consulting, found it after her husband opened their first gym, and says it gave her perspective on how to support him.

AnneMarie Schindler (Founder/Small Wins Consulting)
For a long time, I didn't see myself as an entrepreneur. I worked for an organization where I felt fulfilled, loved the work I got to do, and was amazed by who I got to do it with. Then five years ago, my husband started our first gym and I began to see behind the curtain of entrepreneurship. I stumbled upon Startup Life by Brad Feld and Amy Batchelor, it gave me great perspective on how to support my husband, how business affects a couple on multiple levels, and how we could evolve our roles and relationship.
