Industry Mainstay

Future Fields is a verified, venture-backed biotechnology company (Series A, ~$20M+ funding) developing the innovative EntoEngine™, which uses fruit flies for recombinant protein production. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility, technical innovation, and verified traction (including a new manufacturing facility), the submission quality is extremely poor. The submission contains factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone', 'marketcap: 2500000') which severely impacted the Traction, Reach, and Response Quality scores via penalty multipliers. The score reflects a high-potential hard-tech company weighed down by a low-confidence submission.
