Category Standard

Neko Health is a high-profile health-tech unicorn ($1.8B valuation) co-founded by Daniel Ek (Spotify), offering advanced non-invasive full-body scanning. Despite a low-quality submission with inaccurate specific claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', confused revenue/market cap figures), independent verification confirms exceptional real-world utility, strong backing (€60M+ funding), and high market demand (100k+ waitlist). The project scores in the top tier for utility and innovation, though the specific submission quality was poor.
