ThrowMotion is a verified hardware startup (est. 2010) producing connected cricket table games for corporate venues. External search confirms presence at major clients (Google, Cisco, Lord's Cricket Ground). However, the submission quality is poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The project has solid real-world traction in a niche B2B market, but the submission fails to accurately reflect this, relying on search verification for points.

Description
We're building internet-enabled table games that bring the realism of sport to the table-top. Our first game is a connected table-top game of cricket that is intended for social venues such as bars, company break-rooms, arcade. Several of our game units are placed throughout the Bay Area, in Dubai (UAE) and India...including tech companies like Google, Juniper Networks, Applied Materials, Cisco and Coca Cola. Our games have been received enthusiastically by players of all ages and levels. A typical game duration ranges from 5-20 minutes, perfect for breaks in a corporate recreation area or for social events in a family game room.
