Certified Problem Solver

Buzzreach Inc. is a legitimate, venture-backed Japanese startup (Series A, ~¥1.8B raised) addressing a critical need in clinical trial recruitment ('drug loss' problem). While the company demonstrates strong real-world utility and verifiable traction through partnerships (e.g., DeNA, Oncoshot) and awards (METI), the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. The score reflects the company's actual high value and market relevance, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiated evidence in the submission.
