Pillar is a legitimate Dutch eHealth project aimed at improving parent-child interaction to prevent youth care issues, founded by Liesbeth Verhagen around 2020. While the mission is socially relevant and the product (app with exercises) exists, the submission is marred by highly exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone' as audience) and unprofessional responses ('IronShade'). Verifiable traction appears limited to a pilot phase and local press coverage from 2020, with no evidence supporting the claimed 2.5M market cap or mass adoption. The project falls into the category of a small, niche initiative with minimal verifiable scale.
