In this personal narrative, Shanli Liu recounts how she and her husband Alex met on the dating app Bumble. Their connection was pragmatic rather than romantic; early on Alex suggested that even if a romantic relationship didn’t work out, they should still pursue a business partnership because they shared the same values and goals. They entered into a business together, eventually building a $100 million company. Based on the logical alignment of their visions, they decided to get married first, and only after committing to the partnership did genuine romantic love develop. The story emphasizes that their relationship was founded on a shared business venture and mutual values, with love emerging later.

Chapters

my husband and I worked together and were able to build a $100 million business. Our relationship was built off of the business. We actually weren't even in love until after we got married. I know, it's crazy. I feel like there needs to be context. Alex and I met on Bumble. There was not a giant, like, chemistry reaction. I think it was like 2 weeks in, you know, we're dating, we're hanging out. Alex says, he's like, listen, even if this romantically doesn't work between us, we should make this work business-wise. And I was like, yeah, I agree. We have the same values, we want the same things. Logically, on paper, make absolute sense for each other. And because of that, we made the decision to get married, and then we fell in love with each other. It was not that we had a relationship first and then went into business together. It was that we literally went into business together and built our relationship along the way.
