Certified Problem Solver

Data Blanket (BlazeHunter) is a high-potential AgTech/DefenseTech startup using autonomous drone swarms for wildfire suppression. Founded by industry veterans from Eviation and Amazon Prime Air, the company has verified backing from Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy and confirmed pilot deployments. While the project possesses exceptional real-world utility and technical innovation, the submission itself contained low-quality placeholder data (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and vague audience reach). The score reflects the high verified value of the technology, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission inputs.
