The project represents a liquid screen protector brand that appeared on Dragons' Den UK around 2016. However, the current submission contains significant red flags: the website appears dormant or low-traffic, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is factually false, and the financial metric ('all time marketcap: 50000') indicates a stalled or failed venture relative to the claimed team size of 30. The submission quality is extremely low, suggesting a zombie project or lack of serious engagement.
