Hi, I have some context re: the founder.

  1. No formal ML background. But fwiw plenty of people have had no ML background and done good things in ML. Even if you just look at big contributors in OpenAI.
  2. Their first few years was with Sourceress, which was both unrelated and not done with "huge funding". The hard pivot to Generally Intelligent was a few years later. And they only raised their big rounds recently.
  3. I'm not sure but probably they kept the same corporation (and perhaps returned $ to some investors) as part of the pivot from Sourceress

(4-9, I don't know enough, and so can't answer well.). I think the founders are a little futurist, maybe optimistic and stretched by a lot of initiatives, but not scammers. I don't know the quality of the current company and what they can build.
