You're In Business

Idyllo is a verifiable early-stage proptech startup (Pre-seed) based in Birmingham, AL, with a live MVP and approximately $32k in documented GMV. While the project addresses a genuine pain point in the home improvement market, the submission contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'), which severely damages its credibility. The score reflects its status as a very early-stage venture with minimal actual traction compared to the hyperbolic claims provided.
