The founder claims he has investments from Sequoia, Andreessen and Social Capital??!?!

This is from their Techcrunch https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/22/crypto-social-network-bitc...

I don't think this true which makes me think this is a scam

It is true, Chamath from Social Capital mentioned it towards the end of the recent All-In podcast
They claim to have received investment from Winklevoss Capital, and both the Winklevoss twins have claimed their profiles. I imagine that wouldn't happen for a company falsely claiming their affiliation.
It’s true, it’s been verified via other sources
