genuine question: are there any startups that got funded without any products but with an idea only?

I've never been into start ups or business in general (im more of a researcher) but lately been quite curious if there have been any start ups that got funding while in their idea stage. Is this even possible? Or do investors require some sort of product to show proof that the concept works? what about those startups that are more of a consulting company?

@nbobba @ycombinator I hate the idea of people treating anything like an exam, but it's not true that time spent on the YC application is lost. From the very beginning we worried about wasting founders' time, and designed the application so it would be worth doing even if you didn't get funded.

Do yall use some sort of Slack notifications for analytics?

By that I mean, you get notified in Slack when a user joins / does anything in the app. If not, would you want something like that? Basically, I built an app that was like an Uber for laundry. And I was able to track every user's activity & firebase data through slack in realtime instead of going to firebase and querying and tracking manually. I feel like it's pretty useful as a SaaS tool but I'm not sure.
