Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Maximus' (Maximus Tribe) is a legitimate, venture-backed telemedicine startup (Series A, $15M from Founders Fund). However, the submission data contains significant errors, conflating the startup with 'Maximus Inc.' (NYSE: MMS), a government services giant with $5B+ revenue and 39,600 employees. The evaluation scores the actual startup (Maximus Tribe) based on its verified strong traction and market fit, while heavily penalizing the 'Response Quality' and applying a Quality Factor reduction to 'Traction' due to the erroneous data provided.

Description
Maximus is a consumer telemedicine startup that optimizes men's health & hormones. Our King Protocol uses doctor-prescribed at-home labs, meds, & coaching to double your testosterone within 30 days. Maximus has raised $15M from top Silicon Valley VCs such as Founders Fund & 8VC as well as leading angel investors from companies like Bulletproof, Tinder, Coinbase, Daily Stoic, & Shopify. Maximus is led by CEO Dr. Cam Sepah, Clinical Psychologist/Professor who popularized 'dopamine fasting' worldwide & was Founding Medical Director of Omada Health, a unicorn that pioneered the field of digital therapeutics and helped 500,000 people lose 5 million lbs. Maximus will be a similar $5B unicorn within 5 years given that telemedicine is the fastest-growing and most recession-proof area of the economy. We’re looking for mission-driven evangelists who want to help a million men maximize their masculinity and build a values-driven company culture.
