Gaining Momentum

SupplyNow is a legitimate, venture-backed food tech startup based in Cleveland, offering 'Just in Time' procurement for restaurants. External verification confirms ~$817k in funding, recognition in Forbes 30 Under 30 Local, and participation in the Food Foundry accelerator. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the project's verified real-world potential and traction (approx. 200 customer locations), heavily penalized for the submission's lack of accuracy and detail.
