You're In Business

Auddia is a verifiable NASDAQ-listed entity (AUUD) developing AI-based audio technologies (faidr app) to remove ads from radio broadcasts. However, the submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods regarding traction (claiming 'most people have used my product' while actual revenue is ~$0 and the user base is niche). While the underlying technology (AI audio classification) is innovative and patented, the company is commercially struggling (micro-cap, negative income), and the submission fails to accurately represent the business metrics.
