The project 'Simple IoT' corresponds to a verifiable legal entity in Romania (Simple IoT Networks Romania SRL), but the submission contains significant red flags and exaggerated claims. While the company generated revenue in 2023 (~$400k), financial data for 2024 indicates 0 employees and 0 turnover, suggesting the business may be dormant or restructuring. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a micro-enterprise. The 'marketcap: 50000' figure is incoherent (likely referring to share capital or a typo). The submission lacks credible evidence of active utility, traction, or innovation.
