We seem to get more and more who have. It hurts your chances slightly, but we wouldn't turn down a company just for that.
There are a whole bunch of things in that category (being a single founder, cofounders who won't quit their jobs, still being in school, etc). We wouldn't reject an application for having just one of these qualities, but when an application has several it starts to tip the balance to no.
