I don’t think its about liking, its just that it is hard to do all alone and they know it.

The main concern with solo founders is key man risk. Other than that as startups scale over time, there is often the need to divide the work amongst the team. We have seen solo founders become burdened with a lot of day to day work and are unable to find time for long term strategic thought.
It also really helps to have a founding team/ co founders with multi functional expertise. Often, this leads to lesser blind spots as you scale.

Not sure it can be generalized. I doubt if there is really any bias against solo founders.
Even for Rainmatter for instance, we are not really worried too much about how many founders etc, the idea is to back ideas that seem solving a real problem. A team can then be built around it. In fact a solo founder eventually finding a co founder is easier than someome starting out and then finding a problem worth solving. 🙂

I am a solo founder. ASDBUDDY - It is not easy but we know it won’t be. We do have time for strategic thought. Implementing them gets a bit challenging. Yes, day to day work consumes a lot of our time. But in a niche like mine( Bringing latest autism remediation into India NDBI) the partners are few .. there is so much reluctance !! VCs in India are also short term viewed!! Autism is still viewed as a NGO pillar ! There is so much one can do as a company !!
