Gaining Momentum

Glooma is a legitimate Portuguese health-tech startup developing a home screening glove for breast cancer detection. While the project has high potential utility and has secured Seed funding (~€364K) and awards (NOVA Startup Competition 2024), the submission provided contains verifiable inaccuracies (claiming 'most people' have used it) and lacks technical detail. The project is currently in the prototype/clinical trial phase, not mass market adoption as claimed. The score reflects the strong underlying mission and funding validation, heavily penalized for the low-quality and misleading submission data.
