At first glance, yea, this company is trying to do something that could be done as a side project. The fact that they "are new to the productivity space" doesn't bode well either, and this pitch isn't helping the problem. However, there is one line of the post that grabbed my attention:
"We’re now looking to bring Slack and GitHub into a unified notification inbox in the menu bar"
I've had this exact problem (too many notification from too many sources) and don't have a tool to give myself good control over what notifications get my attention now, and what notification I can read in a digest later. Right now I have to use N app's setting to set N notification policies, and toggle a "master-switch" silent mode, only be be deluged when I turn silent mode off. The tricky thing, IMO, is that they'll be creating an application that competes with iOS functionality, and you can probably guess who wins in those situations.
The idea, "manage notification and free peoples attention" is a good one, and I wish the founders luck.

IMO a "fair price" for the value should be something like $10 for a site license, a price I've observed people pay countless times for similar tools[1] I don't get why this would be selling at such a premium, especially in the growth phase, and couldn't imagine how expensive this would get when they try to improve revenue/user in later iterations!
