Category Standard

Indie Campers is a verified market leader in the European RV rental space with estimated annual revenue exceeding $138M and a fleet of over 7,000 vehicles, significantly outperforming the modest claims in the submission. While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction, the submission itself was of poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The high score reflects the objective reality of the business's success and scale (Series B funded, global presence) despite the lackluster form entry.
