Hmm. There was an excellent comment here that has vanished. It added that there's been bad reviews of the product in the last week, and more importantly, a claim that the startup offered bribes of $500 for good reviews. Bad reviews are one thing, but I can see if there's even accusations of corruption, that might cause investors to back off at least until it can be cleared up.
The video review link is here - I've updated the timestamp directly to the bribe claim. Worth noting that the video title seems to have been updated in the last 24 hours too:

- SyneRyder 9y agoYep, I noticed that too. All the same, offering to pay for a review, especially for completing it before a specific deadline, seems rather dodgy. At a minimum it would require reviewers to disclose that they had received compensation for the review.
