The submission represents 'Pear VC', a reputable Tier 1 venture capital firm, but the data provided is of extremely low quality and contains significant factual inaccuracies. The claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') are hyperbolic and false for a VC firm. The revenue metric ('all time marketcap: 2500000') is nonsensical for a firm with billions in AUM. While the domain is legitimate, the submission itself displays red flags indicative of spam or a lack of serious effort, resulting in a minimal score.

Description
We’re specialists in pre-seed and seed. The startups we back go far. Best-in-class founders do not come around every day. When they do, we jump at the opportunity to work together. Our approach is to work with just a small number of best-in-class founders so we can dig in and go deep.
