You're In Business

IMRecruitable is a legitimate, established business (founded ~2009) connecting student-athletes with colleges, confirmed via external search (partnerships with JotForm, podcast appearances). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), nonsensical metrics ('all time marketcap: null'), and vague descriptions ('technologiesUsed: art'). While the platform has verifiable utility and a 15-year history, the submission's lack of seriousness and exaggerated reach claims ('everyone') significantly penalize the score. The evaluation reflects a functioning small business hindered by a poor presentation.
