My guess is that it's them playing slightly loose with the AWS term VPC: Virtual Private Cloud. My guess is that this is the way most people that have done work with AWS will understand their statement this way.

You're right. It's technically a virtual private cloud. We've found that nowadays VPC works for most people. The days of on-premises platforms are numbered.

Days numbered or not (aside: take a look around Fortune 1000 and you'll see it's alive and well) the term private cloud has a definition. Someone should come up with a term for subnets inside a public cloud.

Thanks for the interest :) We have been trying to figure out the best way to describe our platform and "private cloud" seems the closest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#Private_cloud

Fair enough. Btw, is this what Nitrous became?
