Mifi Mifi is a legitimate, boutique textile studio based in Toronto, founded in 2015 by Jennifer Laflamme. While the business exists and produces high-quality, handcrafted sustainable apparel, the submission contains critical exaggerations (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people' have used the product). Furthermore, it is a traditional arts/fashion venture with no discernible technology component, misaligning it with the 'technology project' evaluation framework. The stated revenue ('marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous and likely refers to lifetime sales or a valuation estimate rather than annual recurring revenue.
