Seeing some speculation on here I did a breakdown of founder count for the S22 batch:

Founder count distribution

1 founder - 16 companies - 7%

2 founders - 154 companies - 67.5%

3 founders - 48 companies - 21%

4 founders - 7 companies - 3%

5 founders - 2 companies - 1%

6 founders - 1 company - 0.5%

I'm off by one (228 data points when website lists 227 companies in the batch) but should be "back of a napkin" accurate. Interestingly there are fewer companies with 4+ founders than total solo founders.
