Certified Problem Solver

The submission describes Ananda Impact Ventures, a legitimate and highly relevant European impact VC firm with ~€270M AUM and a recent €73M fund close (Jan 2026). However, the submission data is heavily flawed, using the name 'BlazeKeeper' (a student game project) and listing nonsensical revenue/user metrics. The evaluation credits the verifiable utility and traction of the VC firm itself while applying maximum penalties to Response Quality due to the incoherent form data.
