Almost all successful start-ups have multiple founders, from the Central Pacific's Big 4 to Google's Sergei and Brin.

One thing to get right in your blog post: your examples.

A better name would be "Four things that matter to a VC or investor", namely...The founding team, The core values, Where the company is located, The initial investors (and their terms). Plus find one mistake, hint: Google's founders.

Just build something people love and would pay for, and you can mess up the other stuff, and still succeed.
