Published by Business Insider on Mon, 27 Jul 2015

And many of the CEOs, cofounders and VCs who work within the London startup scene are part of tech "power couples," marriages and relationships between influential entrepreneurs.We ranked London's tech couples according to how influential they are, how big their companies are, and what impact they've made in the London tech scene.13. n0tice COO Adam Baker and Reel cofounder Meera InnesAdam Baker is the COO of n0tice, a platform that lets publishers share user-generated content. It's owned by the Guardian Media Group (which also owns The Guardian newspaper).
