Gaining Momentum

Project is a legitimate VC-backed B2B HR AI agent (raised £1.2M Pre-Seed Dec 2023, founders ex-Arachnys), but the submission contains low-quality and fabricated data (e.g., '125' team size, 'most people' traction, 'Internet' as tech). Scoring relies on external verification of the real Harriet AI product, heavily penalized for submission quality and early-stage actual traction compared to established benchmarks.
