Gaining Momentum

Cruisewatch is a verified, investor-backed startup (approx. $2M funding) based in Hannover, offering legitimate AI prediction tools for the cruise industry. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant inaccuracies: the name 'DeepHeart' is unrelated (likely a copy-paste error from Cardiogram), and the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false. While the underlying technology and B2B partnerships (e.g., Luxury Cruise Connections) are promising, the score is heavily penalized for these misrepresentations.
