The project 'BX' refers to BX Technologies (bx.tech), a legitimate UK-based climate-tech and ag-tech startup funded (~$2M Seed) to help farmers track carbon. However, the submission contains critical factual errors: it claims a market cap of $106 Billion (confusing the startup with The Blackstone Group, ticker BX) and claims 'most people' have used it (false for a niche B2B product). While the technology is promising and timely, the verified traction is early-stage (<50 employees, seed funding), placing it significantly below the scale implied by the user's erroneous data.

Description

At BX we’re working to restore the planet for future generations. We create tech that helps farmers store more carbon than they produce making the food we eat. Then we connect growers and consumers to trace the carbon footprint of that food. With that knowledge, we can eat our way out of climate change.
