In attempt to commission the painting of a photo from their honeymoon, JD & Liza Kameen unknowingly stumbled upon an opportunity to start their own business. Paintru, a startup that makes it easy to commission art, has received recognition in numerous publications and successfully completed a fundraising round. I sit down with these cofounders to talk about their experience launching Paintru and how they've managed the risk of this venture. These new parents are running Paintru while maintaining their respective, full-time careers. Additionally, Liza is completing business school part-time and JD is finishing his time as a Marine officer. We discuss the importance of knowing what "fills your cup" and managing the constant demands on your time and energy as an entrepreneur.
