You're In Business

Deepflare is a verifiable high-potential deep tech startup (YC S20, ~$1.5M+ verified funding) developing AI for vaccine discovery. While the project has strong real-world utility and technical backing (partnerships with Hawaii Biotech, Osivax), the submission itself contained hyperbolic and inaccurate claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). The score reflects the project's legitimate 'Small but promising' status, heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided input which failed to accurately represent its B2B nature and actual traction.
