Autone.io is a verified, high-growth Series A SaaS company (raised ~$23.8M, valuation ~$69.2M) serving major luxury fashion brands like Roberto Cavalli and Courrèges. While the submission form was filled out poorly (incorrect audience claims, lazy descriptions, wrong name 'DeepStorm'), the underlying business demonstrates exceptional traction, strong market timing in supply chain optimization, and significant team scale (~70 employees). The score reflects the high value and established nature of the business, penalized slightly for the low-quality submission data.
