StageInHome is a legitimate, patent-holding AI real estate startup with a validated use case and early traction (~$320k funding). However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data. The project has strong technical merit but is misrepresented by the user input.

Description
Home Staging is increasingly present in the real estate market as a result of the great benefits it brings during the buying and renting processes, however, it requires significant investment in time and money. We want to go one step further and offer a very fast and accessible solution for all professionals and homeowners. Our patented technology, which uses Artificial Intelligence, makes it possible to transform empty rooms or rooms with an old-fashioned decoration into attractive spaces with different decoration styles, in an automated way and in just a few seconds. We know that the first impression is what counts, and for this reason our solution aims to help you increase the value perception of your property, which in turn will reduce the time of the sale and rental process. Whether you seek to increase the value of your home or a source for inspiration to change your current home decoration, our technology provides you with different proposals of trendy styles from a single photo and with just one click. If you are interested, we will be happy to decorate your home!
