I'd be very surprised if this was some sort of sham. At least both Jeff Geerling and Raid Owl have posted about getting these; though like sent to them without them backing them directly.
I'm not saying it's a scam necessarily, but the schedule and budget seem optimistic enough to make me question wether the folks running it have any prior experience with manufacturing.
BuildJet is a YCombinator backed startup with a ton of attention, and a million extra to burn on top of what investors have already given them. They would have to royally fuck this up at this point, most people would be so lucky to have the opportunity they have here.
