Requea represents a legitimate French IoT software publisher established in 2006, specializing in LoRaWAN solutions for B2B sectors like utilities and smart cities. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant inaccuracies and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product,' 'audience reach: everyone,' and 'team size: 125' vs. actual ~15-20 employees). While external verification confirms the company's existence and moderate revenue (~€1.4M), the submission's failure to provide verifiable data and its inclusion of misleading metrics results in a low score within the 'Minimal traction/Red flags' tier.
