Gaining Momentum

DNDG Srl appears to be a legitimate, established Italian software consultancy (team of ~30) with credible founders who have significant historical expertise (UN experts, academic backgrounds, open-source contributions). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') without supporting evidence. While the technical pedigree (likely linked to major projects like psycopg) suggests high innovation, the lack of verifiable traction metrics and the confusing financial data ('marketcap 2500000') severely limit the score. The project is evaluated as a stable boutique firm rather than a high-growth venture.
