You're In Business

Jettison Equipment is a verifiable D2C outdoor gear brand based in Oceanside, CA, selling backpacks via Shopify. However, the submission contains hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') which severely damage credibility. As a non-technology 'sewn goods' project, it scores low on technical innovation. The '500,000 marketcap' figure is unverified and likely represents a self-valuation or cumulative revenue target rather than a public market cap. The project shows basic e-commerce functionality but lacks evidence of significant traction or unique technological differentiation.
