Industry Mainstay

Semsee is a verified, revenue-generating ($12M+) Insurtech platform with significant market traction (5,000+ agents), effectively solving the manual quoting problem in commercial insurance. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the high verifiable utility and business scale (Series B funded), heavily adjusted for the poor quality of the input data.
