Isn't this what crowdfunding is? You're not paying for a product. You're paying to try and help a product/business get going. If the product fails or doesn't even get going, that's just the nature of investment.
HOWEVER... I do agree that you should have at least seen something from them, an update on how it's going, a business plan etc.
Also, I had never heard of the grid before this discussion. So just going on what I have learnt about it in the past 5 mins.
