Category Standard

Blavity Inc. is a verified market leader in Black media and technology (AfroTech), with substantial reach (100M+ monthly impressions) and revenue (est. $30M+). The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Audience Reach. However, the specific submission details were low-quality (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and confusing funding with market cap), which negatively impacted the Response Quality and Traction quality factors. Despite the lazy submission fields, the entity's verifiable scale justifies a high score.
