Is there anything more to this than a landing page collecting email addresses?

nada...its just a landing page

Perhaps they're trying to find a technical co-founder to build out the platform?

(That's not entirely snark!)

No, i'm going to build it myself. The conversion rate is substantially lower if I put "coming soon."

Minor annoyance, but I'm not trying to scam anyone.

I wonder what your definition of a scam is, because this kind of thing fits my definition of a scam pretty well.

Conversion rate is important and all, but it's also important to consider the first impression you're making on your potential future users.

If they'd just follow Remembear's example and appended a penultimate "a" after the penultimate "e", instead of just removing the penultimate "e", it would have been "Foundear", a much better name.
