I wonder out of these founders how long each worked fulltime for the company. Also, it would be great to know how many key early employees each had who may have not gotten the "co-founder" title.

Yes that would be very interesting indeed. I'm sure there are many girlfriends, wives and children who are not credited either.

..and parents, neighbors, friends etc. Very good point. Startups are a huge team effort.

As far as "help" goes, yes; but that's usually on an occasional, part-time basis.
