It depends on the size of the company, what it sells and how, and the revenue targets.

I currently do software engineering/dev, account management, sales (sort of), and business management by myself. Small biz, not a startup, profitable enough to pay a fair salary after mine.

I'd rather start with one person than 2, and I'll have a hard time believing that 2 people is absolutely necessary where 0.2 is the current situation.
