10 Super Successful Startup Partnerships That Nailed The World


 

William Procter and James Gamble

Family business that reached out to all families

Year:  1837

Company: Procter and Gamble

Partnership: Most in-laws can't stand each other but for William Procter and James Gamble, marrying the Noris sisters led to one great business partnership.  Both were entrepreneurs and ran business, a candle and soap maker respectively, but had never met. Once they became related, their father-in-law coaxed them into creating a company.

How it worked: Family and business values brought them together. Procter and Gamble helped each other create mass quantities of their products. Their products are sold and used all around the world, from there; the two reaped benefits of their partnership and established The Proctor and Gamble company.
