This is an update of an earlier article by Alyson Shontell and Julie Bort.

When it comes to power, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer yields plenty. This year, she was at the forefront of a plan to spin off Yahoo's 15% stake in Alibaba into a new public company, which sets Yahoo up for major potential growth at her hand. However, it also means that all eyes are on Mayer for the foreseeable future.
Coupled with husband Zack Bogue, co-managing partner of venture capital firm Data Collective, the pair holds serious clout in the tech world.

Aaron and Karine Hirschhorn co-founded DogVacay, a network of local dog sitters that's now available in over 3,000 cities. They came up with the idea after a terrible experience with a kennel that left one of their dogs, Rocky, hiding under Aaron's desk for the next two days.
Dubbed "Airbnb for dogs," this service allows pet users to go away without worrying about the well-being of their pooches. It has raised $47 million from investors such as First Round Capital, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz, most recently receiving $25 million in a Series B round of funding led by Omers Ventures.
Dave and Brit Morin each run startups that raised boatloads of money. They had a baby last fall.

Both alumni of powerful tech giants — him: Apple and Facebook; her: Google — Dave and Brit Morin now run their own startups.
Dave runs Path, a mobile social network, which he co-founded in 2010. He also invests in a bunch of startups through Slow Ventures. Brit started her own company, Brit+Co, a design and cooking site full of inspirational how-to posts, in 2011. Since its launch, it has since raised $7.6 million in funding.
On top of all that, the couple, who have been married since 2011, welcomed their first child last fall.
