Industry Mainstay

Launch Mobility is a verified Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) platform founded in 2017, partnering with major entities like Toyota Financial Services and various government fleets (e.g., Kitsap Transit, County of Ventura). Estimated revenue is ~$10M with a team of ~30. Despite strong real-world traction and utility, the submission itself contained demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and low-effort data, necessitating significant Quality Factor penalties on specific metrics.
