You're In Business

Merakion appears to be a legitimate, though small, regional software consultancy based in Austria (indicated by the .at domain and 'GmbH' nature of such entities). While the submission targets 'everyone', the actual business model is clearly B2B services (IoT, Energy). The project suffers significantly in this evaluation due to hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague inputs ('Software Development' as the only tech). The revenue figure ('500,000 marketcap') is ambiguous but likely refers to cumulative revenue, which for a team of 6 since 2021 indicates a small-scale operation. The project has utility as a service provider but lacks the scalability, reach, or product innovation of a high-growth tech venture.
