You're In Business

Bloon Toys is a verified, revenue-generating (~$260k USD/yr) D2C brand based in India, specializing in open-ended wooden toys. While the business demonstrates real-world utility and verified traction (established 2018), the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and incorrect categorization ('software-development'). The score reflects the legitimacy of the underlying business, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and exaggerated submission data.

Description

At Bloon Toys we're trying to add 'play' back to children's lives, not only because it's missing (and too much time is spent in front of screens or doing scheduled tasks), but because its essential! And a whole bucketful of skills that are required in the future are learnt exclusively through play.
