Certified Problem Solver

cQuant.io is a verified, high-value energy analytics platform acquired by Zema Global Data in 2025 (post-dated in search context, effectively current successful exit). Despite the low-quality submission claims ('most people have used my product'), external verification confirms strong B2B traction with ~$5.3M estimated revenue, ~40 employees, and significant market relevance in the energy transition sector. The project scores highly on utility and traction, though the submission itself was penalized for inaccuracies regarding audience reach.
