Certified Problem Solver

Recapped is a legitimate, VC-backed sales collaboration platform (raised ~$6.3M, YC-backed) with strong B2B utility and verified traction (179+ G2 reviews, ~75k claimed users). However, the submission itself contained factually incorrect and lazy data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'), which severely penalized the Response Quality score. The project scores highly on utility and verified traction, placing it in the 'comparable to much larger scale' category despite the poor input quality.
