What's so difficult about showing MVP of a project? You are not asked to show a completely finished application with all the working functions, people just ask for a little functionality so that they can make sure that the project is believable and that it is being developed.
So far, these are ordinary empty words, I would like to see your project, a cool idea
So we can correctly conclude that they are not doing anything, all they want is investors' money without presenting what they have said. Even though the currently new project even presents the MVP version at the earliest time, only the final version took them time to complete.
Whatever you correctly concluded we are not asking you or anyone else to invest into the project. After all that happening with us we are 100% believe that our investors are our users. Once we launched MVP we might be considering to run some private investor sessions.
