You're In Business

Parcoor is a verified French cybersecurity startup (founded 2019) specializing in innovative embedded threat detection (TinyML) for microcontrollers. Search confirms legitimate technology, awards (Grand Défi Cybersécurité), and pilot projects (checkout systems). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). While the technical merit is high, the misleading traction claims and niche early-stage nature result in severe scoring penalties, placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' tier.
