While BLST Security appears to be a legitimate seed-stage startup offering API security solutions (including the open-source tool 'Cherrybomb'), the submission itself is of extremely poor quality. The user provided false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), and failed to provide any verifiable metrics. The low score reflects the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission, despite the project's potential validity in the API security market.
