Seajei is a legitimate early-stage B2B IoT project founded by a former Logitech Principal Software Architect, addressing a genuine problem (video latency in embedded systems) with plausible technology (patent-pending P2P/relay algorithms). However, the submission quality is poor, relying on ambiguous financial metrics ('marketcap: 50000') and misleading traction claims ('most people have used my product') that likely refer to the founder's past work rather than the current startup. While the technical pedigree and utility are high, the lack of verifiable adoption for the specific project places it in the 'minimal traction' category.

Description
Seajei offers groundbreaking IoT technology for live video and audio streaming: the world's first to bring Smart Home video & audio streaming reliability and speed up to par with industry-leading Apple Facetime, which "just works" every time and has unnoticeable lag. Today's Smart Home devices are a different story. Connection times and streaming performance often lag far behind. And when network conditions are not ideal, significant issues such as video and audio freeze or total breakdown can quickly happen. Seajei's patent pending technology leapfrogs today's Smart Home products, all the while running on small embedded systems. It is packaged into an easy-to-use SaaS to get device makers up and running in a matter of hours.
