Category Standard

Daybreak Health is a verifiable, high-impact Series B company (raised ~$25M) partnering with 60+ school districts to provide teletherapy to over 1M students. While the submission data was poor (hyperbolic claims like 'most people', confusing revenue figures), external verification confirms strong real-world utility, significant institutional traction, and perfect market timing amidst the youth mental health crisis. The score reflects the high value of the project, slightly penalized by the low quality of the submission data.
