The project 'Clava' appears to be a dormant or failed social startup founded around 2018-2020 by AJ Picard. While the app physically existed at one point (pivoting from location-based chat to creator economy monetization), it failed to gain significant traction. The submission contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), lacks verifiable data (revenue, users), and the website appears inactive. The project has virtually no current market presence or utility.
