Soul-K

Soul-K is a significant B2B food-tech scale-up based in Milan, confirmed to have raised over €20M in funding and employing roughly 60-125 people. While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction (serving the HORECA and retail sectors with industrial 4.0 food production), the submission itself was of very low quality, containing vague claims ('most people', 'everyone') and confusing financial data ('marketcap 2500000'). The score reflects the high underlying value of the business, penalized significantly for the lack of substantiating detail in the application.
