Case in point, the former CEO of Peloton just raised 25m for a company that delivers you "beautiful, custom rugs for your home". No idea why that would need funding from tech VCs. Yet here they are with several engineering job postings https://www.ernesta.com/careers/. If your business model is custom rugs, maybe just create a shopify store and sell your rugs.
> We believe that high-quality custom design shouldn't be out of reach for consumers and we aim to address this need in the multi-billion dollar global rug industry.
This would be fantastic satire if only it wasn’t real.
