Category Standard

Project is a verified Series A supply chain platform backed by investors like Mark Cuban and Chicago Ventures, raising over $12M. While the submission itself was low-quality (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users), external verification confirms significant B2B traction, moving billions in procurement value. The tool addresses a high-utility problem (supply chain visibility) with timely AI integration. The score reflects the strong external reality of the business despite the poor submission data.
