Certified Problem Solver

GreenTrade Impact GmbH is a verifiable Climate FinTech company based in Berlin, offering blockchain-based forward contracts for carbon credits. The project demonstrates high real-world utility by addressing the financing gap for carbon projects and has secured pre-seed funding (~€1M) and partnerships (e.g., Neufin). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and invalid data fields. The score reflects the high potential and verified external traction of the actual business, heavily penalized by the low-quality, inaccurate submission.
