Interesting post. Maybe others have mentioned this, but a difference with startup founders is charisma, as they often lack it (eg tech nerds are famously uncharismatic), though of course it helps.
Also incidentally this post highlights how different the US and UK (and various other western countries) are in their attitude to religion; in the UK church attendance is tiny, and open religiosity is almost universally seen as weird and embarrassing. So this whole church planting thing seems very odd.
