I'd be curious to see any actual data about relative success rates with single and multiple founders (where success is measured as 'business profitable or sold after N years' rather than 'got funded').
Like in so many things, it's best to minimize the hand-wringing and make a decision based on your personal working style, who's available to join you, and how badly you want to be funded by an entity with a strong bias against solo founders.
