You're right that many VCs will be less enthusiastic to work with a solo founder. This is partly because it's taken as a sign that you can't convince any friends to work on this idea with you, signaling either that the idea is not great or that you are not great to work with.

But this doesn't mean you should lower your standards too much to find someone just to put down on paper. If you're a technical founder then you can build a lot on your own and bring on a business-focused founder when the time is right.
