Gaining Momentum

TrustEat is a verified French SaaS/IoT company (trust-eat.com) addressing a critical need in cold chain monitoring for food professionals. While the real-world utility and market timing are strong, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') that contradict the specialized B2B nature of the business. External search confirms the existence of the product, Sigfox integration, and testimonials, which salvages the score. The revenue/marketcap figure is ambiguous but suggests an early-to-mid-stage venture. The score places it in the 'Small but promising' category, penalized heavily for poor response quality and misleading traction claims.
