You're In Business

The project represents a low-quality or automated submission referencing a likely defunct company. While 'NeoTherma Oncology' was a legitimate medical device startup (founded ~2013) that received FDA Breakthrough status for its VectRx system, financial records indicate the company went out of business around June 2025. The submission contains blatant falsehoods (claiming 'most people have used my product' for a specialized cancer device) and incoherent data ('marketcap' listed as revenue). The numeric email address and lack of specific technical detail further suggest a spam or bot entry.
