Gaining Momentum

Dealsplus is a verified, VC-backed B2B SaaS platform for private equity deal management, founded in 2020 with ~$5.13M in funding and verifiable client traction (managing billions in AUM). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone') and lazy data. The evaluation heavily utilized external verification to establish the project's legitimacy and value, scoring high on utility and traction but penalizing response quality.
