Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

GS Capital Connect appears to be a legitimate boutique advisory firm connecting MedTech startups with investors, founded in 2022. However, the submission is critically flawed, presenting a service-based consulting business as a technology product with impossible claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone', traction claim that 'most people have used my product'). External data suggests a small team (2-3 employees) rather than the claimed 30. The lack of proprietary technology and the hyperbolic nature of the submission result in a very low score.
