The BD School

The BD School is a legitimate, Rotterdam-based educational platform operating for ~7 years with verifiable traction (approx. 600 students, active podcast, corporate clients). However, the project submission itself contained significant exaggerations (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'), which severely impacted the quality factors for Reach and Traction. While the business solves a genuine niche problem in Business Development education, it relies on standard e-learning technologies and operates at a small consulting scale rather than a high-growth tech trajectory.
