While Blue Equity is a verifiable Danish private equity firm managing approximately DKK 2 billion in funds, this submission suffers significantly from inaccurate and low-effort data entry. Claims such as the audience being 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product' are factually incorrect for a B2B investment firm. Additionally, the revenue field ('500000 marketcap') contradicts the committed capital described. As a non-technology project with a poor-quality submission, the score reflects the disconnect between the real-world entity and the provided project details.
