Industry Mainstay

CareAcademy is a verified, high-growth company (Series B, ~$12M revenue, Acquired in late 2025 by Activated Insights) addressing a critical caregiver shortage. While the submission itself contained inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as audience, 'SwiftWing' name, and lazy traction claims), external verification confirms it creates substantial real-world utility with over 800,000 caregivers trained. The project scores highly on traction and utility, though the submission quality was heavily penalized.
