Yep, something that is sadly becoming more and more common. People with solutions spending insane money trying to convince others that a problem exists.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these guys would never have raised if they didn't have "GitHub co-founder" on the first slide of the pitch deck

The beauty of it all is one doesn’t even have to invent a solution… they only have to invent a “problem” to be pitched for VC funding.
