The submission appears to be a low-effort entry for a verifiable but small non-profit entity (Tesserakt Institute). While the organization exists and has received minor government grants (e.g., $5,000 for COVID relief), the submission is critically flawed. The traction claim ('most people have used my product') is factually false and matches a pattern of spam submissions. The description is dated (COVID-19 focus), and the financial metric ('all time marketcap: 500000') is incoherent for a standard non-profit. The discrepancy between the project name 'MarCom Institute' and the description 'HelpHub' further reduces credibility.

Description
Traditional public health response strategies are breaking down in face of the COVID-19 crisis as they rely on costly, physical-first practices that increase exposure to the virus for high-risk groups like the elderly or underserved. HelpHub is a rapid-response solution that prevents clinical and bureaucratic bottlenecks by combining the power of a population health platform, local volunteer networks, and a social services matching algorithm to connect vulnerable groups with vital resources and supplies from the comfort and safety of their own phone.
