Certified Problem Solver

Roomvu is a verifiable, revenue-generating proptech company (est. $4M+ revenue, ~74 employees) offering automated video marketing for real estate agents. While the project demonstrates high real-world utility and strong vertical traction (100k+ users, Inman coverage), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and low-effort data. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized by the low-quality submission evidence.

Description
Here is how Inman News Describes roomvu:\n“The web-based solution offers users ready-made video content. Organized by categories such as Market Updates, Neighborhood Reports and Tips for Homebuyers, among others, Roomvu’s videos don’t merely repurpose weak stock footage. They look and perform as if each was built by a professional editor.\nThis is quick, consumable content most ideal for social media and email distribution, both of which can be done from within the application, either as-needed or through the calendar tool. Each video has an agent headshot and contact credentials, too. Data that highlights market and neighborhood videos is pulled from current regional board affiliations, so it’s credible and geographically relevant.\nIn major cities, such as San Francisco, Seattle, Miami and the like, Roomvu footage is captured and prepared by local partners. They also include submarket reports for additional specificity.\"\n
