Gaining Momentum

Civic Champs is a verifiable, functioning B2B SaaS company founded in 2019, providing volunteer management software to over 137 nonprofits including Habitat for Humanity and United Way affiliates. While the project demonstrates real-world utility, solid market fit, and verifiable traction (Techstars portfolio, consistent revenue), the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data ('all time marketcap: null'). The score reflects the project's proven viability (High Utility/Traction base) heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the application (Low Quality Factors).
