Gaining Momentum

HealthLeap is a legitimate, venture-backed startup (Fifty Years, Cedars-Sinai) addressing a critical healthcare problem (malnutrition). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims about user reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business fundamentals and funding ($1M+) warrant a solid baseline score, the deceptive and lazy submission details significantly penalize the Traction and Response metrics.

Description
HealthLeap is improving health through better nutrition, by giving healthcare professionals the tools they need to do their best. Since January 2022, we've raised over $1m, from investors like Fifty Years and Cedars-Sinai. We're establishing a founding team to help develop our app, which assists healthcare professionals in better treating and preventing disease-related malnutrition. Malnutrition in hospitals worsens health outcomes for nearly all patients and is associated with a 3-5x increase in mortality during a hospital stay. It affects 30-50% of patients, while only 5% are diagnosed.
