JDM Talent appears to be a legitimate, albeit small, executive search boutique for the Life Sciences sector in Europe. However, the submission is critically flawed: it lists the audience as 'everyone' (incorrect for niche B2B), claims 'most people have used my product' (factually false), and cites a 'marketcap' of 2.5M (likely cumulative revenue or a valuation estimate, given the firm is unfunded and private). External data suggests a team size of 1-5 rather than the claimed 30. While the core service has utility, the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation or scalable impact, and the data provided lacks credibility.
