Industry Mainstay

Project is Food Brewer AG (input name 'SwiftKeeper' is incorrect). Verified as a legitimate Swiss food-tech startup addressing climate-driven cocoa shortages via cell-cultured ingredients. Significant verified traction includes ~CHF 10M ($11M) funding and strategic partnerships with Lindt & Sprüngli and Sparkalis. However, the submission contained major inaccuracies: claimed 125 employees (reality ~20), claimed 'most people have used my product' (reality is pilot scale/pre-market), and vague revenue data. The score reflects high utility, innovation, and verified B2B interest, heavily penalized by the low quality and inaccuracy of the user's input.
