Leanspots is a verifiable B2B SaaS platform for startup ecosystem management (incubators, accelerators) based in Spain, offering valuation and matchmaking tools. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audienceReach: everyone'). While the project has legitimate utility for its niche (~5,000 ecosystem members identified via search), the lack of provided evidence and the discrepancy between the 'everyone' claim and the niche reality results in a low score falling within the 'Minimal traction' (<50K users) calibration range.
