The submission describes 'Nabla Ventures', a boutique UK-based consultancy specializing in deep tech advisory (founded 2016). However, the submission claims 'most people have used my product', which is demonstrably false for a niche B2B firm and likely confuses the project with 'Nabla', a separate, well-funded AI healthcare unicorn ($120M+ raised). The reported revenue ('marketcap: 500000') aligns with a small consultancy, not a mass-market product. The submission is penalized heavily for misleading reach claims and lack of verifiable product traction.
