Unicorn Utility

Love, Bonito is a highly successful, vertically integrated fashion brand with significant market presence in Southeast Asia. External verification confirms Series C funding ($50M+), annual revenues estimated between $50M-$80M, and a physical footprint of 27+ stores. While the submission form was filled out with minimal effort (vague claims like 'most people have used my product'), the underlying business demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction far exceeding the baseline. The score reflects high marks for utility and verified traction, penalized slightly for low technical novelty and poor submission quality.
