Gaining Momentum

OpenSeed is a verified Miami-based company (est. 2018) producing 'meditation pods' with credible partners (Deepak Chopra, Yves Behar) and corporate clients (Morgan Stanley). However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false/hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lacking verified data. The score reflects the legitimate niche potential and existing B2B traction of the hardware product, heavily penalized for the submission's lack of evidence and credibility.

Description
OpenSeed provides tech-powered meditation pods that facilitate moments of tranquility, especially in stressful environments. By integrating sound, guided meditations, essential oils, lighting, and technology, we facilitate access to higher states of awareness, where creativity flows and productivity peaks. In this isolated environment, uninterrupted by any visual distractions, a person has a much greater potential to quiet the mind and restore calm, focus, clarity, and positive energy.\n\nOur purpose is to positively affect the lives of millions of people through the science of meditation.
