B-2 is for tourists. You're probably thinking of the B-1, but as I understand it that precludes "productive work" and only allows meetings.
The idea is to provide a platform for companies that aren't yet large enough to take advantage of visas that are available to larger firms. So startups that got traction would eventually transfer over to being normal SV companies.

That would make sense, except their offering doesn't sound like that's what they are aiming at. For a company to reach the point where it is spending $3K/mo just to be within 12 miles off the shore of SV, with crappy satellite inet...they would have to already be at the point where they can transition into being a 'normal SV company'...thereby making this point moot.
