My backseat quarterbacking here... I feel like these guys focused on the wrong things, the fascinating thing though is that with all the help they had, no one told them. I would have got a marketing person in on day 1. Who needs a "back-end engineer" if you have no users using the product. I wouldn't have rewrote the app. Who cares how maintainable the app is if you have no users. I would have looked for a more realistic back-end route that can work today while I work on the bank integration (why not top up gift cards? I've paid people to write blog articles for me in Amazon Gift Cards. They're as good as cash.) basically, just keep plowing until get from zero to one. Even if one looks NOTHING like your original vision.
