Gaining Momentum

Savology is a verified, seed-funded ($1.7M) fintech startup offering free financial planning. While the product has high real-world utility and has served ~15,000+ households, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing factually false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the legitimate business value and funding traction, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and lazy submission data.
