You're In Business

PerksBar is a verified B2B HR SaaS project and a member of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks (HKSTP) Incubation Programme, indicating legitimate business viability and government backing. The platform focuses on gamified employee engagement and has received local recognition (e.g., CHO Appreciation Awards). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical revenue data. While the project has real-world utility and a functioning product in the Hong Kong market, the evaluation score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible user adoption data in the submission and the deceptive nature of the claims provided.
