Industry Mainstay

MOLTEN Cloud is a legitimate, high-potential B2B platform for media rights and content management, backed by $7M in funding (Abstract Ventures, Lakestar, etc.) and serving major clients like The CW Network and Angel Studios. While the project demonstrates exceptional utility, innovation, and market timing (solving complex rights fragmentation in the streaming era), the submission quality was extremely poor—containing hyperbolic false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking specific evidence. The score reflects the high verified value of the technology and business model, heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided input.
