Category Standard

Second Front Systems is a verified, high-growth defense technology company with a recent $750M valuation (Series C, Sept 2024) and significant backing from Salesforce Ventures and Battery Ventures. The project addresses a critical bottleneck in national security (software accreditation/ATO). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims ('team size 0', 'audience everyone') and lazy data entry. The score reflects the massive real-world value and traction of the underlying entity, heavily penalized by the low quality of the specific submission.
