Certified Problem Solver

RUNNR.ai is a verified Seed-stage startup with ~$2M funding and 100+ hotel clients, offering high-utility AI automation for hospitality. However, the submission quality was abysmal, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') that required independent correction. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market timing, balanced against the penalties for the submitter's lack of evidence and accuracy.
