Gaining Momentum

CariClub is a verifiable, active B2B platform connecting professionals with nonprofit associate boards, established in 2015. Despite a low-quality submission containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms significant traction with over 500 nonprofit partners and corporate clients like Citi and KKR. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility in the CSR/ESG sector and solid market timing, though the submission fails to accurately reflect its verified niche success.
