MyPeriodTest is a legitimate early-stage FemTech/Biotech startup based in Berlin, developing a home test kit for menstrual fluid analysis in partnership with Fraunhofer IZI-BB. While the scientific premise is innovative and market timing for FemTech is strong, the project submission itself contained low-quality, exaggerated data (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used it and listing the user as 'AncientRider'). Actual traction is limited to pilot studies and grant funding (EXIST), placing it firmly in the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bucket. The score reflects high technical potential heavily penalized by a misleading and unprofessional submission.
