You're In Business

Hotspot Channel Limited is a legitimate UK-based IT consultancy active since 2014. However, the project submission is critically flawed by unrealistic claims, such as stating the audience reach is 'everyone' and that 'most people' have used the product. These hyperbolic statements, combined with a lack of verifiable revenue data (listing 'marketcap' in the revenue field) and zero technical innovation details, result in a low score. The project represents a standard service-based micro-business rather than a scalable technology venture.
