OneText (onetext.com) is a high-potential SMS commerce platform verified as a Y Combinator and Khosla Ventures-backed company (raising ~$9M total). While the project submission itself was of extremely low quality—containing vague claims like 'everyone' for audience and missing key data—external verification confirms significant real-world utility, active revenue generation, and a 'text-to-buy' technology that reduces friction in e-commerce. The score reflects the strong business fundamentals and market timing, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality which obscured its true traction.
