Not the first time I've seen a service like this. Main site design itself doesn't resonate with me, although the multiple sample images do.
Some nitpicks/thoughts:
* I would have to have a Mac and Sketch to use this. Not unheard of that people will be using other types of services (why not provide me actual web assets?)
* pricing - $2k/month is... it's not unreasonable but for 4 day turnaround time, I may not actually get as much values as working with a local freelancer who has a more transparent workload (and maybe has references I trust).
* Arguing against "on-staff $80k/year designer", then charging $5k/month for 24hr turnaround... it's not a huge savings. Benefit may be I can switch designers from FPP - to get different styles/abilities, but that's not made obvious anywhere I can see. We don't all live in SV, and many areas you can find a reasonably priced designer who you can meet in person for less than $5k/month (I've worked with some).
Not sure who the target audience is here - the unfunded startups I've worked with would not spend $5k/month, and would even balk at $2k/month for a 4 day turnaround time. The funded startups I know would just hire someone, because that's what the funding was for (hiring a team).
