Unicorn Utility

Osano is a verifiable market leader in the data privacy (CMP) space with significant traction (est. $14M+ revenue, $44M+ funding, 40k+ customers). Despite a low-quality submission ('MysticShade', no data provided), external verification confirms it is a 'Scale-Up' entity far exceeding the calibration reference. The project solves a critical, mandatory legal problem (GDPR/CCPA) with high real-world utility.
