Tree++ (Tree Plus Plus) is a verifiable early-stage ClimateTech initiative with a valid mission to digitize tree planting and carbon offsetting. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and malformed contact data. While external search confirms the project's existence and its HackerNoon profile, there is no verifiable evidence of significant adoption, revenue, or user base to support a higher score. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category.

Project Details

Description
Tree++ is a digital platform that connects the dots in tree plantation to address climate change through the implementation of carbon offsetting initiatives. The platform makes it easier for everyone to plant trees by rightly identifying the stakeholders and activities while planting trees and connecting them all together in a cohesive manner. Furthermore, the platform has built-in monitoring mechanisms to ensure that the planted trees are tracked and cared for until maturity, ensuring that the carbon offsetting efforts are sustainable and effective. The platform independent of fresh fund/donation, it becomes self-sustainable once sufficient stakeholders join the platform to its journey towards reducing the carbon footprint and achieving net zero and beyond!
