You're In Business

Schnell LiFi GmbH is a verified spin-off from Fraunhofer, focusing on legitimate LiFi (Optical Wireless Communication) technology. However, public records from North Data indicate the company entered provisional insolvency proceedings in late 2024, severely impacting its viability. The submission contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' is factually incorrect for niche LiFi tech) and low-quality data inputs ('audienceReach': 'everyone', 'monthlyRevenue': 'null'). While the underlying technology is innovative, the project's commercial failure and poor submission quality result in a critical score.
