The last 3 of the 5 we'd compromise on if the person was good in other respects. Only the first 2 are essential. It's hard to imagine a startup succeeding without at least one person who was determined and flexible. It's just the nature of the domain.

Aside from the complimentary skillset, it's nice to have another founder so they can pick you up when things aren't going your way.
