The project 'ncScale' (No-code scalability solutions) appears to be a discontinued product. Public records indicate the platform officially shut down on March 21, 2025. While the company previously raised seed funding (from Kima Ventures and Elaia) and addressed a valid market need in the No-Code space, it is no longer active. Additionally, the submission contains demonstrable falsehoods, claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product,' which severely damages credibility. There is confusion in the market with a similarly named AI infrastructure unicorn ('Nscale'), but the input explicitly describes the defunct No-Code tool.
