I want to point out that the author spends more time in this article talking about the problems associated with having multiple founders than he does the benefits. All of the benefits he outlined were individual: motivation, skills, connections, perspective. All of these things are required to some degree in any startup, but individual experiences may vary. Bottom line: If you have a need, fill it. If not, don't force it.

Motivations, skills and connections can be multiplied with multiple founders. If you are the rare person who has each of those items in spades, that's great. However, I would still argue that having additional people in the group lessens the individual burden, assists in getting to the right answer for solving problems, and keeping things moving forward when things are hard.
