Gaining Momentum

IFundWomen is a high-utility, established platform addressing a significant funding gap for women entrepreneurs. While the project entity itself has verifiable success ($135M+ raised, 30k+ jobs), this specific submission suffers from low-quality, hyperbolic inputs (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience). The score reflects the strong real-world value and market presence of the platform, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission data which undermines credibility.
