The bias against solo founders seems to be being mentioned a lot. There's actually a solution to this in Europe - Entrepreneur First (joinef.com), a seed investment programme which you can apply for before you have a team (and even a concrete idea). Most people who come to us as individuals meet their cofounder on the programme and go on to raise some of the largest seed rounds in Europe.

Full disclosure: I work for EF - but if you're experiencing the sole technical founder problem you should check us out.

I just submitted the "I'd like a coffee" thing on the EF site. Looks interesting.

For those who didn't manage to grab a ticket there's also pre-event drinks being hosted by EF at their HQ in London Bridge. There will be some YC Alum there too. Signup URL: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pre-startup-school-drinks-wit...
