The submission describes an M2M consulting firm established in 2006 but suffers from severe data inconsistencies and exaggerated claims. While M2M consulting has utility, the claim of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' contradicts the specialized B2B nature of the business. The stated team size (125) is mathematically incompatible with the provided financial metric ('2.5M all time marketcap') over an 18-year period, suggesting either data error or misrepresentation. The project appears to be a small boutique consultancy rather than the large-scale operation implied by the team count.
