Coavmi is a verified flight-sharing platform based in France, founded in 2014, allowing private pilots to share costs with passengers. While the project is legitimate and functional with a history of seed funding (2017), it has significantly lagged behind its primary competitor, Wingly, in market share and scale. The submission is heavily penalized for the hyper-exaggerated traction claim ('most people have used my product') and poor audience definition ('everyone'), which contradicts the niche nature of general aviation. The project has real-world utility but the submission fails to accurately reflect its actual standing.

Description
The principle of flight sharing is to connect private pilots planning a flight and having empty seats with passengers willing to do the same flight and share fees.\n\nEach passenger can then book a seat(s) and thus share flight costs (rent of the aircraft, gasoline and airport fees) with the pilot.\n\nPilot profiles are systematically validated by Coavmi support team before publishing a flight sharing post\n\nThe purpose of this platform is to democratize access to private aviation, and allow everyone to enjoy the benefits of flight sharing.\n\nHaving access to hundreds of airports and airfields allows for more flexible flights and almost door to door!
