Kutt addresses a specific niche in P2P social betting, attempting to solve the settlement friction between friends. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and missing critical data (active users, revenue). Despite a relevant market sector, the project's status as a 'closed-Beta' since a 2019 launch suggests stagnation or significant scaling hurdles. The evaluation is heavily penalized for lack of verifiable evidence and hyperbolic statements.

Description
Kutt is a P2P social betting platform that allows friends and strangers to bet real money on sports, politics, entertainment, and other events electronically. Think of it as a much better version of Venmo, but for betting - a formal platform that allows anyone to bet with a known counterparty, ensures the winner of each bet will be paid, and has a ton of ancillary features that give it the feel of a social network.\n\nWe are currently operating a closed-Beta and are actively fundraising.
