Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
Yeah I know they got the funding...but that just means they are good at marketing and have managed to build a decent base (the "invite only" thing is genius marketing...even if it is just smoke and mirrors!).
I am not surprised it hasn't indexed, the site is slow, they use <h1>s for everything - oh except the menu where they use a <h5> for a fucking menu item! (seriously, inspect your profile, h1 for each section, then in "multiverse" and "spacestation" they use h5s!)

The fact you can't add alt text also won't help you index!
So far my first impressions are getting worse and worse...I am really hoping someone can show me some magic I have missed!

Oh no give them credit, their marketing team is doing a good job when they can raise 13 mil on what they currently have (you could build it in a week probably!).

It's not genius marketing, it's pretty common with services that don't have enough to offer of their own merit.
