Gaining Momentum

GlobalTips is a verified, functional business based in Lithuania (founded 2015) providing QR-based cashless tipping and menu solutions. While the submission inputs were extremely poor (e.g., claiming audience is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'), independent verification confirms over 600-850 venues and strong staff adoption (500+ App Store ratings). The project fits the 'Small but promising' calibration tier (100-250) with verified revenue and reach in the EU hospitality market, despite the low-quality submission text.
