Certified Problem Solver

Thera (getthera.com) is a verified YC-backed (Summer 2022) global payroll and compliance platform with verifiable traction, including a $4M seed round and hundreds of business customers. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and nonsensical data fields ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying business has high utility and market relevance, the score is significantly penalized due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the unprofessional quality of the response.
