SweetTree Connect is a legitimate spinout from SweetTree Home Care Services, a highly-rated UK care provider. The project addresses a high-utility problem (elderly fall prevention) using IoT sensors and has verified pilot studies. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and confusing metrics ('marketcap: 50000'). While the domain expertise and backing of an established parent company provide a solid foundation, the project is currently a niche internal pilot with minimal verifiable external traction.

Description

SweetTree Connect is a tech spinout from one of the best home care providers in the UK. We are using Internet of Things (IoT) technology with smart home sensors to help elderly and vulnerable individuals live with improved health, safely and independence in their own homes. Founded by someone with years of experience in health and social care and a vision for how technology will be part of the future, we’re in an incredible position in terms of access to domain expertise and knowledge of the market. Yes, we’re an IoT company, but we’re not making a smart juicer or connected trainers. Our mission is to use technology to genuinely change people’s lives for the better. Since mid 2018, we’ve bootstrapped our way to an MVP and have already proved the product in real-world pilots. Over the next 12 months we have ambitions plans to scale up our MVP and existing pilots and begin generating revenue.
