Olombria is a legitimate, innovative agtech startup addressing the critical issue of pollinator decline using hoverflies and chemical signaling. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical sophistication, backed by verifiable participation in accelerators (SVG Ventures, InnovationRCA) and pilot programs. However, the evaluation score is significantly penalized by the poor quality of the submission itself: the claimed traction ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a niche B2B company, the audience reach ('everyone') is inaccurate, and the submitter details appear unprofessional ('FrostFang'). While the technology is promising, the project's commercial scaling since its 2017 founding appears slow, and the submission fails to provide credible evidence of growth.
