Industry Mainstay

Campus Ink is a highly successful, verified business (Est. $15M revenue, ~80+ employees, backed by Mark Cuban) transforming the collegiate apparel market via NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). While the project itself has exceptional utility, traction, and market timing, the specific submission provided was of very low quality (vague claims, missing data), which significantly reduced the potential score from the 700+ range. External verification confirmed the entity's substantial scale.
