But it's also a startup. Don't those usually gather up investment and hire more people?
Just looking at it casually I would have guessed that there's a small founding team, and they are trying to snowball the investment to a point where they can actually do it, with a much larger team.
That's how they all work, isn't it? There's not a whole lot you can do with just two people, it's a matter of attracting investment.

In the kickstarter they describe their team as: "2 full time devs, 1 part time dev". That's where I got 2-3 person team.
They also say: "If we raise enough, we'll be able to hire an additional full-time engineer to bring you Alpha features even faster!"
So, by their own terms raising an additional team member would seem to be some kind of a stretch goal, and such hiring isn't in their plan for delivering the features they've promised in the timeline they promised.
Yes, if their promise was: "We need to raise a large amount of funding, so that we can hire a medium sized team to build out all of these features" I would be a lot less skeptical. But, from reading their Kickstarter page, that doesn't seem to be what's being promised or proposed.
