Should all co-founders pitch?
My general rule is that any founder in a VC pitch should be speaking 25 percent of the time at a minimum, and hopefully more. So, if you feel like your co-founder(s) won’t be speaking on behalf of the company at least that amount of time, you’re better off going into a meeting without them.

How many co-founders should a startup have?
In sum, I believe more startups should have 4–5 co-founders rather than the more common number of 2–3 co-founders. If you think this sounds crazy, consider the case of LinkedIn. LinkedIn had five official co-founders at the outset.

Since at the early stages startups sometimes don’t even have enough revenue to pay salaries, one of the most common ways to inspire and support co-founders is a startup equity split. Why Allocate Equity among Startup Co-founders?
Should CEO-founders give the co-founder title in full?
The founder-CEO desires the recruiting and loyalty juice that comes from offering the “co-founder” title, but she can’t bring herself to offer the title in full, so she allows “Founding Team.” I say: bite the ego bullet and offer the co-founder title in full.
