Grifin is a legitimate, venture-backed fintech application (Series A, ~$22M funding) with verifiable traction (~500k users, 4.5-star App Store rating). The platform automates micro-investing based on daily spending, addressing a real-world barrier to market entry. While the project demonstrates significant utility and market fit, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, providing vague and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong external evidence of utility and traction, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the early-to-mid stage nature of its user base compared to global giants.
