Blingg (blingg.club) is a verifiable early-stage D2C discovery platform in India that enables users to try brand samples via a subscription box. External search confirms the company raised $100k in Pre-Seed funding (Feb 2023) and has shipped over 10,000 boxes. However, the project submission contained significantly exaggerated claims (e.g., "most people have used my product") and invalid data, which lowered the credibility and response quality scores. The project fits the 'Minimal traction' category (<50k users) with a valid business model but low technical novelty.
