When I see an idea like this funded, I always feel they raised based on founder's strength.

It seems this is the case. One of the founders seemed to build a few successful apps in the past.

The idea is okayish. It is useful for sure but the space is crowded with tons of alternatives.

Just to save everyone time: Rohan has built apps where "1 million people have used the products".

Otherwise nothing that special. Just two young, competent engineers. No FAANG or second time founder.

I suspect the real reason is that they had launched, had decent amount of traction and had a point of difference.

FAANG is not even that special unless you are the one who created a new product line or early employee.

Building a product with 1m users is much much more impressive, especially with no funding and team.
