Otterize

Otterize is a highly legitimate, venture-backed project (raised $11.5M) that was acquired by Cyera in June 2025. It solves a critical problem in Kubernetes security (service-to-service authorization) using a novel 'Intent-Based Access Control' (IBAC) approach. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing key milestones (acquisition, revenue). While the technology and real-world traction are exceptional (validated via external search), the score is penalized heavily by the poor quality and inaccuracy of the provided input data.
