I disagree. The formula "We're X for Y" is a very succinct way to start painting a picture of what your company does. It's supposed to be a "hook" for an investor or a tech news writer (or reader) to keep listening to you. So I wouldn't assume they aren't able to clearly explain what they do.
Still, your complaint might be that, even if works for investors or tech news writers, it shouldn't necessarily be used for prospective employees. In that case, I agree. But I'm sure that, if you happened to be interested in a particular startup that used that formula to describe themselves, they'd be happy to provide you with more details on what they do.
