Bosetein is a verified Stuttgart-based deep-tech startup developing 'ReBIS' (Real-time Bacterial Inspection Sensor) for the food industry. While the technology addresses a critical real-world problem (food safety/recalls) and shows promise through accelerator wins (e.g., 5-HT X-linker), the project submission contains significant inaccuracies. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is factually false for a specialized B2B industrial sensor, and the audience is incorrectly identified as 'everyone' rather than food processors. The 'marketcap' figure suggests an early-stage valuation rather than revenue. The score reflects high potential utility and innovation, severely penalized by false traction claims and a lack of commercial scale.

Description
'Farm to plate, make food safe' We at Bosetein are developing new ways of inspecting food hygiene for food producers, retailers and packaging companies. Our innovative technology will change the scenario in these sectors where it takes days before the results are known. Our real-time solution is based on optical technology, which not only ensures a precise measurement with high accuracy but also makes sure that each and every corner of the food is scanned and verified for any bacterial contamination. This way the companies doesn't have to worry about 'Food Recalls' anymore and the consumers will not be worried about 'Food Poisoning'. At BOSETEIN we are developing DataLine, an AI powered IoT platform through which the food producers, processing companies, retailers and auditing companies can estimate and keep track of the hygienic conditions of food products and the food supply chain in real-time. The platform is enabled by our real-time bacterial inspection sensor, ReBIS, which estimates the hygienic quality of the produce on the production lines. It allows the food producers and processing companies to have a better control over the use-by-date as well. We are helping companies to produce safe and hygienic food to gain consumer confidence and avoid food recalls and food waste. Our data platform is a one-stop-shop for food safety issues.
