Ask HN: Is Humane Vaporware?

This stealth startup has spent three years and $42M in investment and not released a single product. All their pitch seems to be based around founders having worked at Apple, one of them as a project manager.

Its aim is to build “technology that improves the human experience and is born of good intentions; products that put us back in touch with ourselves, each other, and the world around us; and experiences that are built on trust, with interactions that feel magical and bring joy.”

Who knows anything about this company? If we pattern match, does it suggest they will release successful, income generating products?
