No matter how many years since we’ve finished high school, it seems like we’re always looking for the next homecoming king and queen. When it comes to the tech industry, there’s no shortage of power couples in Silicon Valley and beyond. They meet a variety of ways — 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 (…called Google).
The running themes in all these couples? Talent, intelligence and quest for world domination.

Husband-and-wife duo Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston not only inspire and equip early-stage startups at Y Combinator — 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 — 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.
When 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.
