Gaining Momentum

The submission describes 'Energise Resources', a legitimate UK-based non-profit network founded in 2018 that connects tech leaders with charities (e.g., War Child, Help for Heroes). However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring significant data integrity issues: the project name 'StarFang' appears to be a user handle or unrelated reference, and the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is a demonstrable falsehood that triggers a heavy penalty. While the underlying initiative has high social utility, the lack of a proprietary technology product (it is a service/consulting model) and the invalid financial metrics ('marketcap 2500000') limit the score. The evaluation recognizes the real-world value of the entity but penalizes the submission for inaccuracies.

Project Details

Description
We believe in social justice, social mobility and protecting the environment for our children. You have great ideas for social and environmental change or innovation within your organisation. Obtaining access to specialist talent and funding is however challenging. We, being leaders within the Digital and Technology Industry, have come together to volunteer* our services to energise or accelerate your ideas. The consultants and specialists who donate their time and companies who offer pro-bono support, do so because we all believe in the things you do. *free Together we can make extraordinary things happen! There has never been a more exciting time for technology professionals. Advances in digital technologies are converging to offer what many believe will be the 4th Industrial Revolution. Advances in AI, Robotics, Gene Therapy, IoT, Drones, Virtual Reality and Clean Energy have the opportunity to create huge good for our world, however over the last 35 years we have lost over half the wild animals on the planet, we are destroying habitats and food stocks through over grazing and pollution. Our world population is growing exponentially with also much longer anticipated lifespans meaning increased pressure on our resources. It is clear that not all will have the ability to invest in technologies that will drive or benefit from this 4th revolution and the gap in society could widen rather than diminish. You are likely to be already working on some of these challenges. We will bring some of the top technological expertise in the UK and around the world to accelerate what you do.
