Sherpany is a verified Swiss market leader in meeting management software, acquired by Datasite in 2024. With over $10M+ estimated revenue, 150+ employees, and 300-600 enterprise clients, it significantly outperforms the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) in business scale and revenue. However, the submission itself ('BlazeRider') was of low quality, containing lazy and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') which negatively impacted the Response Quality and Traction Quality scores. Despite the poor submission effort, the underlying project is a highly successful, verified scale-up.
