Gaining Momentum

The project 'Metvy' (submitted as 'WhisperShade') is a verifiable Indian edtech startup specializing in cohort-based mentorship. External verification confirms it has raised seed funding (~$188K), generated revenue (~$66K FY24), and appeared on Shark Tank India. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing the wrong project name in the title field and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the 12.5M 'marketcap' figure matches its INR valuation (~$1.5M), the discrepancy in user reach and the competitive nature of the sector limit its score. It falls into the 'Small but promising' category due to verifiable business operations despite the poor submission.
