You're In Business

The project 'Rovren' appears to be a discontinued or failed venture. PitchBook data indicates the company went 'Out of Business' in April 2025, following a small equity crowdfunding raise ($130k) in 2024. The submission contains significant discrepancies and hyperbolic claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and a team size of 30, whereas verified data shows <12 employees and minimal market penetration). The 'market cap' figure provided refers to a valuation cap from a past fundraising round, not revenue. Due to the likely defunct status of the project and deceptive submission data, the score is minimal.
