The submission conflates two distinct entities: 'Lili for Life' (a French startup producing dyslexia lamps, matching the URL) and 'Lili' (a US neobank with ~125 employees). The project evaluated is the dyslexia lamp. While the technology (pulsed light based on University of Rennes research) is innovative and verifiable (CES 2025 presence), the submission contains false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate audience data ('everyone'). The project is a legitimate niche hardware startup, but the submission quality is critically low.
