Building a startup is hard.
Building a startup with your spouse? That’s a whole different level of difficulty.
Today on 10 Minute Tech Talks, we’re exploring how Wendy McSparren and John Mihalik built Admirra together, not just as co-founders, but as partners in life. Admirra provides software and service solutions for private mental health practices to help them onboard new clients and efficiently manage business workflows.
This is a story about trust, boundaries, leadership, and learning how to win together.
Wendy and John remind us that startups aren’t just built on code and capital. They’re built on trust, patience, and the willingness to grow together. Admirra works because its founders work, first as partners, then as entrepreneurs.
