Gaining Momentum

Jointly is a verified, seed-funded ($5M, 2022) cannabis wellness platform with legitimate traction (200k+ tracked experiences, 30-person team). However, the project submission was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying business is promising and technically sound, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible, verified detail in the response and the niche nature of the actual user base compared to the claimed reach.
