About Lauren & Dan

Lauren and Dan, both journalists, met in the Forbes.com newsroom back in January of 2006.

They became great friends until Dan decided to leave in June 2007 to help start a new company, Silicon Alley Insider.

Lauren was very sad she was about to lose such a great friend to a new job, so she thought she might be able to keep him closer if they were dating.

She wooed him a week later at a company event — thanks for the margaritas, Forbes! — and they’ve been happily together ever since.
