You're In Business

The submission relies on vague, hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') lacking verifiable evidence. Despite the backing of Bain & Company and a team of 30, the unrealistic metrics such as 'all time marketcap: 2500000' and lack of a clear target audience indicate minimal verifiable traction, resulting in a low quality factor across all criteria.
