Gaining Momentum

ToppersNotes is a verifiable, venture-backed EdTech startup (raised $1M in 2021) with a team of ~150 and over 300k registered users, solving a genuine problem in Tier 2/3 Indian cities. However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing financial data. The score reflects strong business fundamentals and verified traction, significantly penalized for the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the exaggerated reach claims.
