You're In Business

The project corresponds to a registered entity (E-Volve Energy Holdings LLC) with verifiable regulatory filings in Texas and DC, and a small solar asset (1.2 MW). However, the submission contains multiple objectively false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). Crucially, external due diligence reveals severe red flags: the company (formerly Sonovus Energy) has an alert on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website with consumer complaints alleging scams, non-delivery of services, and lack of responsiveness. The stated 'marketcap' of 17M is unsubstantiated for this private entity. The combination of low-quality submission data and serious reputation risks results in a very low score.
