You're In Business

The submission appears to be a low-quality or fictitious entry with significant red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' contradicts the lack of verifiable brand presence. The metrics (350 team size vs. $2.5M 'marketcap') are inconsistent for a professional venture studio. No functional technology or specific utility is described, and the URL does not lead to a recognized logistics entity.
