You're In Business

Maca.io is a legitimate B2B SaaS platform for pricing optimization (RevOps) founded by ex-Brex/Pipe alumni. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant factual errors (classifying the business as 'Mining'), hyperbolic falsehoods regarding traction ('most people have used my product'), and missing metrics. While the underlying technology has clear utility, the submission fails to provide credible evidence, resulting in a low score consistent with early-stage ventures that lack verifiable data.
