Agreed. Also understand VCs are marketing what works best for them and what they see working for them - mainly so they can attract those people making their job easier. They're creating a bit of a facade for themselves that risk will be less; It's true though that 2 people can get more than 2x the work done than 1 person can, though a single person managing other people well - it just happens at the smaller budget size of startups the cost of an added profit margin that gets added on (plus other difficulties that arise) to outsourced labour, can be substantial.
