No "about us". No names. "send us your business idea". No link to the blog or github repo.

Red flag.

"We'll publish a blog post for each app we launch, detailing the development process and the business it was built for."

Is this blog already up and running? If so, what is the URL? (I am curious to see what they have done so far)

"The code we write will be published as a public repository on GitHub."

I could not find the account on GitHub (if there is one already started). Could you provide the URL please?

> How much does it cost? -> We don't take any money / equity from you

> You can support our initiative by donating

No offense but this is a bit absurd. Either you need money or you don't. If you do need money, make it easy for businesses to pay you by providing something for a fee, with a proforma.

Donations are very difficult / impossible to do for small businesses (probably your core audience).

Donations are not the main CTA. If you want to support the initiative you can donate. We don't need money to build the MVPs for people but if we get donations we might convince other devs to join (they would get paid).

I'm guessing this serves as marketing for their consultancy business? If it is, it's a pretty fun way to go about it.

In principle ideas are 'cheap' and execution is everything. By publishing the MVP to github, are you simply enabling competition?

If you don't want competition then you have to pay for the execution

Do you have portfolio? I find it hard to believe anyone serious would send you an entire spec for their product.
