Certified Problem Solver

Asanify is a verified B2B HR/Payroll startup from India with significant backing (Techstars) and traction (81 employees, 2000+ customers, High Performer on G2). However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring hallucinations ('most people have used my product'), incorrect project name ('WhisperGale'), and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 284000'). Despite the low-quality submission, the underlying business demonstrates strong real-world utility and scale comparable to established mid-sized tech ventures.
