Gaining Momentum

Threatray is a verifiable Swiss deep tech startup (Spin-off from Bern University, Seed funded ~$3M) offering advanced malware search algorithms. While the technology is high-utility and innovative, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality (false claims of 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users). The score reflects the legitimate technical merit and B2B utility, heavily penalized for the lack of verifiable evidence in the submission and the false traction claims provided.
