You're In Business

KegSpeed is a legitimate B2B IoT company (est. ~2015) offering hardware solutions for brewery keg tracking, effectively addressing a real industry pain point (keg loss). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). External verification confirms the existence of the product, patent technology, and a functioning business, likely operating at a small-to-medium enterprise scale ($500k-$2M range). The low score reflects the disparity between the valid technology and the unreliable, low-effort submission.
