If you want to start a startup, it's good to know about multiple, unrelated things. Startups often depend on 4 or 5 different kinds of knowledge, and it's great if they can all be found in 2 founders.

Once you have to leave the founders' heads to get some kind of expertise, you're operating much less efficiently. This is most obvious in the case of programming, but it's true of any kind of expertise.

Wouldn't 1 founder with all the knowledge be better than 2 founders that each have some of the knowledge? Maybe our bandwidth is too limited for that, but like I can't imagine the aliens having employees, that'd be weird.
