"a single person can build a major app in a year"
I believe this is false by at least two orders of magnitude. Particularly if major means high scale, with properly researched and designed to your customer, with proper support for users/customer, with proper infrastructure technically, financially and legally wise.
I am all for bootstrapping business and have as role models the likes of DHH more than VC-funded founders. But that doesn't mean I don't understand the need of capital.

Plentyoffish and Minecraft come to mind as not necessarily immensely technically complex but having created huge amounts of value as one man shows.
