> We’re here to fix the Internet

That's such a broad "mission statement" that I wonder if it's effective at all. I mean, what SaaS wouldn't say that they fix something with the internet? That's to whole reason for online businesses solving one or another problem.

How could that statement help them guide their implementations of various solutions?

My understanding/hope is that the author uses "internet" to mean the technology. Colloquially we use "internet" to also refer to every technology that runs on top of the internet (like the web), but 'connect devices together' is a meaningful statement and the internet is the technology that we currently use to do that.
