While I'm happy to run a startup as a single founder myself - I think I'd prefer to invest in teams too. A team already has something to match your investment (the team itself). Also, I wonder if its not more difficult to judge which single founders will be successful, and easier to judge when it is a small team. So I think treat this rule as investment advice, but if you're confident of running your own startup, trust yourself rather than PG's advice.

That is an interesting piece of advice. Credit yourself in areas that you are capable but be humble to recognize your weaknesses, and you'll have a clearer picture of whether you can make it on your own. In the words of Sun Tzu, "If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles."
