Here’s my super quick take, if I were evaluating this for funding:
Startups are pretty competitive. For me to put money into a business venture, I’d want quite a bit of faith that the team is very strong. This would be pretty high bar.
From looking at this, it’s not clear to me promising the team is at this point.
Generally, the bar for many sorts of projects is fairly high.
If I could ask EA Infra Fund one binary question about your grant, it would be “did you reject me because this idea is not in your domain?”

Ok, for the record this is very far from my guess.
The closest thing I said was “Intra Fund don’t know how to evaluate startups, and specifically market places”
