Somehow the pandemic shut them down; I would have expected the opposite, that it would focus them on getting something working.
It sounds to me like The Mill is an effort being driven by people who are unwilling to get their hands dirty in anything they don't personally know and enjoy doing, which is never a good sign for a startup, IMHO. OTOH if they can convince the money to spend big on an organization prior to having a product, well, good for them! On general principal I'm in favor of transferring wealth from financiers to tech people.
