You're In Business

Elnous appears to be a niche Greek consultancy firm specializing in smart building design and system integration, rather than a scalable technology product. The submission contains demonstrably false and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'), which severely undermines credibility. While the core service (smart building design) has real-world utility, the reported financial metrics (500k 'marketcap' since 2018) suggest very low revenue for a 6-person team, indicating a lack of commercial viability or sustainability. No independent evidence of significant traction was found.
