The project 'ByNow' (bynow.ai) is a verifiable B2B Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) fintech based in Saudi Arabia, founded in 2022. External search confirms they have raised approximately $1.2M - $1.3M in seed funding (Merak Capital). However, the submission quality is extremely poor and contains significant falsehoods: the user claims 'everyone' as the audience (it is strictly B2B/SME), 'most people have used my product' (false, early-stage traction), and mislabels the valuation ($17M implied) as 'marketcap'. While the project has high real-world utility and strong market timing in the MENA region, the score is heavily penalized due to the submission's dishonesty and lack of detail.
