Industry Mainstay

Pelicargo is a legitimate, venture-backed MIT spinout addressing significant inefficiencies in the air freight market. External verification confirms it serves ~80 airlines and ~500 freight forwarders, demonstrating strong B2B traction despite the submission's hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience). The project scores highly on utility and verifiable market presence, but the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false data ('most people have used my product') which heavily penalized the confidence quality factors.
