What are chances of startup getting funded if it has multiple-unrelated products

I read the post talking about an entrepreneur working in multiple startups(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5454804) at a time which brings me to this question. If there are 2-3 cofounders(or may be 1 founder) who work on 2 different unrelated unique products(such as one being a social networking website the other being a financial services iOs app) and they constitute this as 2 products under 1 company(just like Automattic Inc has multiple products), what are the chances of this company getting funded? I mean how do the investors/incubators/accelerators look at it? Is it the same as working on multiple startups at one time? My Views: The positive side being not all the eggs are in one basket so if one fails the other can become the product the company runs on.
