The submission for Coastland Ventures lacks verifiable credibility and contains hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') that contradict the stated metrics ($500k market cap). The project appears to be a Venture Capital/Incubator firm, yet the submission provides no evidence of portfolio, confirmed website presence, or technological innovation. The misuse of financial terminology ('marketcap' for a VC firm usually denotes AUM or portfolio value, and $500k is negligible for an institutional VC) further suggests a lack of professional grounding or a low-effort submission.
