You're In Business

The project represents a standard boutique staffing agency with no discernible technical innovation. The submission contains significant red flags, including objectively false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The financial metric ('500,000 marketcap') is non-standard and suggests very low scale for a business established in 2017. The submission quality is low, with unprofessional contact details and generic marketing text.
