You're In Business

Coffee Cloud is a legitimate B2B IoT concept for the coffee industry, founded in 2015, with verifiable history of raising ~$2.2M and partnerships (e.g., 1NCE). However, critical red flags severely impact the score: 1) PitchBook data indicates the company status as 'Out of Business' as of January 2026; 2) The submission claims 'most people have used my product,' which is factually false for a niche industrial telemetry tool; 3) The 'market cap' of 2.5M after 10 years suggests a stalled or failed venture. The low submission quality (vague audience 'everyone', missing specific metrics) further degrades credibility.
