Apto Inc.

Apto Inc. is a verified Japanese startup (founded 2020) developing 'harBest', a crowdsourced AI data annotation platform. External search confirms significant traction with approximately ¥260M ($1.7M) in funding and enterprise clients, contradicting the low-quality submission data. The project scores highly on market timing and utility due to the critical demand for AI training data. However, the score is heavily penalized by the submission's poor quality, which contained exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and vague technical details ('Internet'). The final score reflects the legitimate potential of the business, adjusted down for the lack of credible evidence in the submission itself.
