Industry Mainstay

FanFood is a verified Series A company (raised ~$13M) operating in 300+ venues, including minor league stadiums and universities. While the project has significant real-world traction and utility in the contactless ordering space, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and lacking specific data. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals heavily penalized by the poor evidence provided in the submission.
