The project 'ByDesign' is a verified Techstars '22 portfolio company offering a visual planning tool. However, the submission quality is critically low and contains significant inaccuracies. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and a launch date of '2000' are demonstrably false for a 2021/2022 seed-stage startup. While the software exists and has niche utility, the discrepancy between the submission data (e.g., 60 employees, 'everyone' audience) and verifiable reality (approx. 1-10 employees, <50k monthly visits) results in a heavily penalized score falling within the 'Minimal Traction/Red Flags' range.
