Less. Fashion is a verifiable Danish startup (founded 2022 by Drita Memisi) offering a B2B circular economy plug-in for fashion brands. While the project addresses a genuine market need (Utility) and has received industry press coverage (Traction), the PoU score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission data. Claims such as 'Audience Reach: everyone' and 'Evidence of Traction: most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for a niche B2B tool. The invalid email format and lack of concrete internal metrics further degrade the score, despite the legitimate external existence of the company.
