Is there anything more to this than a landing page collecting email addresses?

Perhaps they're trying to find a technical co-founder to build out the platform? (That's not entirely snark!)

No, i'm going to build it myself. The conversion rate is substantially lower if I put "coming soon."

Minor annoyance, but I'm not trying to scam anyone.

If they'd just follow Remembear's example and appended a penultimate "a" after the penultimate "e", instead of just removing the penultimate "e", it would have been "Foundear", a much better name. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15777340

I actually agree with this, I like the advice.

Feel free to email me at stanfordhays@gmail.com

Or provide your email. I'll contact you.

I wonder what your definition of a scam is, because this kind of thing fits my definition of a scam pretty well.

Conversion rate is important and all, but it's also important to consider the first impression you're making on your potential future users.
