This seems highly suspicious in light of recent supply chain attacks. Offering everyone a nice CLI experience, and so well branded and 1337 too.

According to Crunchbase, the company has two employees and receives millions in funding.

Something doesn’t add up here.

More often than not, it's the Crunchbase DB. Especially for early companies it can be pretty out of date quickly. My current employer had its entry badly merged with a similar named company that wasn't even close to what we did, so we had the wrong description for over a year.

Also it lists two employee profiles, but a size of 1-10. This is common too, again at my current employer we've got a headcount in the 20s but only 1 or 2 employee profiles on crunchbase. $3M is also not a massive seed round by any means, I've seen plenty of early startups with 2-4 employees raise $9M+.
