Industry Mainstay

Climb (formerly Tacotax) is a verified French fintech scale-up with significant revenue (~$14M) and team size (~80+), justifying high base scores for Utility, Reach, and Traction. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (vague claims, pseudonym), resulting in low Quality Factors (0.5) that penalized the final score significantly, preventing it from reaching the 800+ range typical for this scale.
