Gaining Momentum

Go Dogo is a legitimate Danish hardware startup offering an innovative TV-based mental stimulation system for dogs using computer vision. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'), and lacking verifiable data. While the underlying technology and market timing are promising, the submission's lack of professionalism and the niche nature of the hardware product severely impact the score. The discrepancy between the actual product (innovative, small-scale) and the submission (spam-like) results in a score reflecting a 'Small but promising' venture penalized for poor evidence.
