You're In Business

8levate is a verifiable UK-based early-stage startup (registered late 2025) offering an AI-driven job coaching and skills-verification ecosystem. While the problem-solution fit addresses real pain points in recruitment (AI-spam and bias), the submission is severely compromised by demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing metrics ('marketcap' listed as revenue). External search confirms the business exists but indicates it is in a nascent stage with no significant digital footprint or verifiable user base yet.
