Matterbeam

Matterbeam is a verifiable Series A cloud data platform (founded 2022, raised ~$4.1M) with genuine utility in the data engineering space ('Data Agility Platform'). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product'). While the project possesses strong technical merit, verifiable funding, and customer traction (e.g., Broadlume, Promoboxx), the score is heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the discrepancy between the submission's claims and the actual B2B nature of the business.
