You're In Business

Liven Proteins is a legitimate Seed-stage food tech company developing fermentation-derived animal-free collagen. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies, such as claiming 'most people have used my product' (the company is B2B and in R&D/pilot phase) and listing audience reach as 'everyone'. While the underlying technology (upcycling food waste via precision fermentation) is innovative and high-utility, the score is heavily penalized for false traction claims and low-quality submission data.
