Interview had been made by a founder, who wasn't present to interview me. I'm not sure they even existed.
Interview was conducted by a recently-hired, recently-graduated (and very fresh-out-of-school) developer.
The business prop just didn't make sense.
After about 15--20 minutes, I was just trying to make sense of the situation / why they were even at the firm.
I watched for further developments from the company for a few years, I'm not aware that anything ever came of it, so at least this one time my sense that this could never pan out was in fact correct.
(Stupid ideas often have a much longer runway than seems remotely possible, especially when money also gets stupid.)
I don't recall the name of the company any more.
They were in search space, and are neither alphabetic or waterfowl-inclined.
