Category Standard

Locum's Nest is a highly successful, verified UK HealthTech platform acquired by Aya Healthcare (June 2025). While the submission itself was poor (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction), external verification confirms it is used by over 50 NHS Trusts, has 60,000+ users, and generates ~$9.5M in annual revenue. The project has saved the NHS ~£750M, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and market fit despite the low-quality submission data.
