Looks like an attempt to create an alternative to the Linux kernel that is single process and has no users (check their github at https://github.com/nanovms/nanos and related https://github.com/nanovms/ops). There may be some value to that, but things like CoreOS and Project Atomic make that value narrow.
Their approach is designed around a single-process approach that isn't common for modern server systems, including in containerized designs. The NanoVM approach requires a full VM as well, which provides more cross-process isolation, but also dramatically increases overhead. Even the simplest system usually requires at least a couple daemon processes to handle things like log shipping or process monitoring. Sometimes other containers can fill those roles, but that doesn't work if each process is a full VM, rather than a container. They seem to be doing well making this open-source (Apache 2.0), but it's not clear if the company is committed to remaining entirely on an open-development path. Overall it seems somewhat niche, and they may find their business plan is not as effective as they hope.
