Gaining Momentum

DoorList is a legitimate, venture-backed event technology startup focused on university and Greek life organizations. Despite the low-quality submission (which contained inaccurate claims about 'everyone' using it and nonsensical revenue data), independent verification confirms the project has raised ~$3M in seed funding, serves over 100 universities, and offers a verified technical solution (dynamic QR codes) to prevent ticket screenshots. The project falls firmly into the 'Small but promising' category with established revenue and user traction.
