Do early investors frown upon solopreneurs?

I've talked to a couple of venture capitalists that invest into early-stage startups and it surprised me that they didn't care much about market validation, user base, business model, etc, but first and foremost they Insisted on a team (even without a clear goal for why this team is needed in this case).

It made me curious: do most early-stage investors see A team as one of the most important indicators? Would you be much more cautious/hesitant towards a solopreneur?
