Square Off

Square Off is a verified hardware startup that successfully launched robotic chessboards, raised over $2.5M, generated ~$4M+ in revenue, and was acquired by Miko in 2022. While the project demonstrates high technical innovation and real-world utility for chess enthusiasts, the submission itself contained significant exaggerations (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users) and inaccurate financial terminology ('marketcap' likely referring to acquisition price or funding). The score reflects the project's genuine hardware success and innovation, heavily penalized by the poor quality and lack of credibility in the provided submission data.
