You're In Business

Almond Careers is a verifiable UK-based training provider operating since 2012, offering project management courses with practical work experience. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies and hyperbolic claims (e.g., claiming 'everyone' has used the product and stating 'most people' as evidence of traction). While the 'bootcamp' model has real-world utility, the 'team size' of 350 contradicts the confused financial metric ('50000 marketcap'), likely conflating students with employees. The project functions as a service business rather than a scalable technology platform, limiting its innovation and reach scores.
