Gaining Momentum

Project identified as Sudozi, a legitimate VC-backed (Pear VC, Susa Ventures) B2B finance platform, despite the submission containing erroneous fields (e.g., name 'FrostKeeper', audience 'everyone'). The discrepancy between the high-quality verified business fundamentals (ex-Uber CFO founder, ~$4.3M funding) and the low-quality submission (hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product') results in significant penalties to Quality Factors. However, the verified real-world utility and market position in the CFO stack sustain a 'Small but promising' score range.

Description
Sudozi is building a suite of modern tools for finance teams to collaborate with budget owners and collectively make smarter decisions. Sudozi was founded by a strategic CFO who built similar tools at Uber but then didn't find it available to purchase when she was CFO of other startups. \n\nSudozi is initially a set of workflow tools to help finance teams manage their data. As the product expands, we will be able to leverage the data to generate advanced insights and recommendations to supercharge our users.\n\nCome join a team backed by the first engineers at Uber and Stripe among many other top angel investors. We launched in 2021 and have many enterprise users on the platform.
