You're In Business

Pico Norte is a verified, operating climbing gym in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico, offering real-world utility for fitness and community. However, the project submission suffers from significantly exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone' and traction claim that 'most people have used my product'). While the business is legitimate and generates revenue (unlike many concept-stage submissions), it lacks technological innovation and global scalability, fitting the profile of a local SME rather than a high-growth tech venture.
