Dart Technologies (dart.art) is a verifiable but stalled venture founded in 2015, aiming to provide in-car infotainment systems ('Dart Disco') for ride-share drivers. Despite a 10-year history, the company remains small (~5 employees, ~$300K funding) with minimal verifiable footprint. The submission claims 'most people have used my product' and targets 'everyone', which is demonstrably false and hyperbolic for a niche B2B2C pilot stage startup. While the entity and product exist, the lack of significant scaling after a decade and the misleading traction claims severely impact the score.
