Category Standard

Lepaya is a verifiable, high-growth EdTech scale-up (Series C, ~$80M verified funding) with significant B2B traction (2,000+ clients including KPMG, Microsoft, L'Oreal). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction, the specific submission provided was of extremely low quality (containing garbage data like 'energy-solutions' and hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the business, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the request data.
