So having 4 total (3 others) wouldn't be out of the question if all brought different skills to the table? Thanks for your thoughts, would love to get some other opinions too!
"The ideal company would have two or three founders. We'll consider those with four or five. We're reluctant to accept one-person companies, though we have funded a couple."
If there's a strong justification, there's no reason not to have four cofounders. If it's just because that many people wanted to collaborate, you might want to take a hard look about who is going to commit to contribute what. To go with a common illustration, founding means "you're the pig" (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Chicken_a...).
