Klippit is a legitimate entity founded in 2016 (Atlanta-based) aiming to democratize influencer marketing via NFC/QR tags. However, despite being a Startup Runway Finalist in 2020, the project appears to be in a stagnant or 'zombie' state in 2026 with no significant recent traction. The submission claims 'most people have used my product,' which is demonstrably false and severely impacts the credibility score. With a 10-year operating history, a team of 3, and no revenue/active user data provided, the project falls into the minimal traction category.
