Gaining Momentum

TheGoodz is a verified, VC-backed quick-commerce delivery startup (Redbud VC portfolio) operating in Columbia, MO, with documented revenue of ~$70k/mo (2022). However, the submission quality is critically poor, providing false claims ('everyone' reach, 'most people') and missing data ('null' revenue). The score reflects the legitimate underlying business value (~$1M ARR, thousands of users) heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence in the application.
