Category Standard

Tastewise is a high-growth, verified B2B Scale-up in the FoodTech sector with significant traction (Series B funding ~$73.5M, estimated $17M+ revenue). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional utility and innovation—serving major enterprise clients like Nestlé and PepsiCo with AI-driven insights—the submission quality was notably poor. The input contained inaccurate claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people') and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' vs funding). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the company, adjusted downward for the low-quality data provision.
