  Exactly. If it were real they could have done at least $10M.

    Whatever happened with that? Was that like some VCs just playing a prank on the plebs, a purposefully absurd stunt?

      They pivoted to an app which lets you say more than just Yo. Yes, really. https://www.justyo.co https://www.justyo.co

  Yeah, sadly the bit just before that about them putting their heads together "to create something that could have a real impact on the lives of millions" doesn't really give it away. It's too believable that a real startup offering this product would use that language these days.
