Gaining Momentum

Canni Money is a verifiable Australian fintech startup focusing on Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) lending and refinancing. While the project addresses a legitimate niche market with real-world utility, the submission is critically flawed by hyperbole and misused metrics. The claim that "most people have used my product" is demonstrably false for a specialized Australian financial service, and the target audience is niche (SMSF trustees), not "everyone." The "marketcap" figure likely refers to valuation or loan book size, which is relatively small for a lending business ($2.5M). The project has potential as a specialized lender but is currently in early stages with minimal verifiable mass adoption.
