Ask HN: What does $2M dollars get you for a startup?

I saw that the Beme social media "app?" took 2 million to start up. I was just thinking, (maybe I'm simplifying the application) if it just records by triggering the proximity-sensor, and say a developer is paid $60,000 which 2 million gets you 33 $60,000.00 Using AWS for storage, maybe press release, etc... What does 2 million get you?
