Gaining Momentum

Chenel Capital is a verified boutique venture capital firm based in NYC, with a portfolio including Axiom Space and Ursa Major. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing unprofessional identifiers ('SilentBlade'), demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product'), and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the firm's real-world utility as a capital allocator is valid, the submission credibility is severely compromised, and legal records indicate a 2022 sexual harassment lawsuit against the founder.
