CollabNET (TheCollabNet.com) is a legitimate boutique networking and event organization based in New York, founded by Harry Dublinsky and Mark Pearlman. While the underlying business is real and serves a specific niche (Real Estate/Finance/Family Offices), the project submission contains multiple disqualifying exaggerations. The claim that "most people have used my product" is demonstrably false, as the reach is limited to thousands of local professionals, not the global population. Additionally, citing a "market cap" of 17M for a private service business indicates either a fundamental misunderstanding of financial terminology or a fabrication. The project lacks scalable technical innovation, operating primarily as a traditional service provider.
