Gaining Momentum

KindWorks.AI is a verified pre-seed startup (raised ~$1.5M in Oct 2023) building an AI agent 'Beni' for workplace kindness. Despite the submission containing low-effort and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'), external search confirms legitimate traction with enterprise pilots (e.g., Beekman 1802) and a credible team (ex-Amazon, Oxford). The score reflects the project's actual promising B2B potential while heavily penalizing the poor quality of the submission data.
