GroupRaise is a verified, established platform (founded 2010) connecting over 10,000 restaurants with community groups for fundraisers, generating estimated annual revenue of ~$6.6M. While the submission itself was poor (lacking metrics and relying on hyperbolic claims like 'everyone'), external due diligence confirms significant market traction, a national U.S. footprint, and a sustainable business model that solves a genuine coordination problem for both restaurants and non-profits. The score reflects this high real-world utility and scale (falling into the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier), significantly discounted by the lack of direct evidence provided in the application.
