Industry Mainstay

Hyperframe (submitted as 'StarShade') is a verifiable Series A construction technology company with $19M+ in funding, addressing critical labor shortages with AR-enabled robotic metal framing. While the project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Technical Innovation (HoloLens integration, custom hardware), the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and incorrect audience data ('everyone'). The score reflects the high intrinsic value and venture backing of the business, heavily penalized by the lack of credible user evidence provided in the form.
