Spayr is a legitimate French HRTech startup founded in 2021, providing Earned Wage Access (EWA) solutions. The company raised €2.5M in seed funding (April 2023) and claims to serve ~30,000 employees, addressing a high-utility problem of financial resilience during inflation. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality (using the name 'IronStorm', claiming 'everyone' as audience, and hyperbole for traction), which severely impacts the response quality score. The verifiable B2B traction places it in the 'promising' category, but the user count (<50k) and poor submission align the score with the 0-100 calibration bucket.
