You're In Business

Lovegrove Consulting is a verified, legitimate niche recruitment agency specializing in the gaming and blockchain sectors, operating since 2019. External search confirms valid B2B traction with reputable clients (e.g., Miniclip, Product Madness). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and lacking technical innovation as it is a service business rather than a technology platform. The project name 'StarRider' appears unrelated or mislabeled.
