Certified Problem Solver

HENRY The Dentist was a verified, venture-backed mobile dentistry startup (raised ~$10M, Series A led by Forerunner Ventures) that was acquired by Onsite Dental in 2021. The project has high real-world utility and demonstrated significant market traction during its operation. However, the specific submission provided by the user contains severe inaccuracies (claiming a 1997 launch date vs. actual ~2017) and hallucinatory traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the legitimate success of the business entity, heavily penalized by the low quality and lack of evidence in the submission data.
