Industry Mainstay

I-Pharm Consulting is a well-established (founded 2008) global recruitment agency specializing in Life Sciences, with significant operations in the UK, US, and Australia. While the business demonstrates strong real-world traction, revenue, and organizational maturity (recently transitioning to an Employee Ownership Trust), it is a service-based consultancy rather than a technology product. The submission suffered from poor quality responses (e.g., claiming the audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'), which negatively impacted the score despite the underlying business's success.
