I attended last year as a solo founder. Here's what I think...
It's not well suited for funding a solo founder, there's just too much they expect you to do in the 10 weeks of classes.
And it's not suited to help you filter multiple ideas to find the best startup during those 10 weeks. So pick a product and go through process. You'll know if it's the right one before you finish the 10 weeks.
It's really about learning how to "find product market fit" for your idea. What they want to see is your idea being something that people really want and will pay for and you'll learn how to find that out and not spend a lot of your time or cash in the process.
And you'll learn how to setup a corporation that makes it easy for VCs to invest in if you do have product market fit for your idea, and maybe more important, what not to do.
Unless you already know all about that it's worth your time and effort. And getting together with others every week in a group setting all working on those same lessons was great.
But it's not easy. They expect a lot from a team of founders, so going into it solo is a deep dive.
