You're In Business

Lanva is a real AI video repurposing tool, but the submission contains highly exaggerated and nonsensical claims ('most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 2500000'). Independent verification indicates it is an unfunded startup with minimal verifiable traction. While the core product concept has genuine real-world utility in a relevant and timely market, the vague technical details ('Internet') and extremely poor response quality result in a low overall PoU score.
