Cascade.io is a verifiable no-code data transformation startup founded by Jake Fuentes (ex-Level Money) and backed by A-list investors (First Round Capital, Redpoint, Susa Ventures) with a $5.3M Seed round in 2021. However, public records and the company's own 'lessons learned' posts indicate the project wound down operations in 2023 to 'pursue other options'. The submission description ('Flying under the radar') appears to be outdated legacy text. While the team pedigree and historical funding are exceptional (validating the 'A-list' claims), the current real-world utility is minimal as the product is inactive. The claim 'most people have used my product' likely references the founder's previous exit (Level Money) rather than Cascade.io itself.
