You're In Business

D24 Search is a verifiable boutique recruiting agency specializing in deep-tech sectors, founded in 2025. While the business addresses a genuine market need (talent acquisition for AI, robotics, and space tech), the project submission fundamentally mischaracterizes the nature of the operation as a technology product with 'everyone' as the audience. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche B2B agency with a 6-person team. The reported 'marketcap' of 500,000 is likely a mislabeled revenue or valuation figure. As a service-based business without a proprietary technology platform or scalable software component, it scores low on technical innovation and reach compared to scalable tech projects.
