GlucoLive was a legitimate early-stage student project (Warwick Business School) that won the Reload Greece Young Entrepreneur programme in 2020. However, the project appears inactive in recent years, with no live website or commercial product found. The submission contains severe credibility issues, including the demonstrably false claim that 'most people have used my product' and confusing market valuation with revenue. While the problem (undiagnosed diabetes) and market timing are strong, the lack of current progress and poor data quality result in a low score.
