Arcsine Imaging

Arcsine Imaging developed impressive photogrammetry technology, utilizing projective texturing to create high-quality 3D product viewers for the web. While the technical innovation is significant and the solution was deployed by major clients like On Running, the business model proved unscalable, leading the founders to effectively shut down active operations. The submission includes highly exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' likely referring to lifetime revenue), which significantly reduces the credibility of the input data. The project is a classic example of strong engineering with a difficult service-heavy business model.
