Gaining Momentum

Bunch Tech is a verifiable B2B IoT startup focusing on smart building sustainability, a high-utility market sector. However, the submission quality is extremely low, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). External verification confirms the existence of the company, partnerships (e.g., Akenza), and deployment across ~400 sites, which saves the project from a zero score. The reported 'marketcap: 2500000' likely indicates a seed-stage valuation or early revenue, placing it in the 'small but promising' category, though significantly penalized for poor data accuracy.
