You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate student society at the University of Manchester, known for organizing hackathons like Great Uni Hack. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims regarding reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and financial metrics ('17M marketcap'). While the organization provides local utility to students, the specific submission fails to provide verifiable evidence of scale or innovation, and the hyperbolic data severely impacts the credibility assessment.

Description
UniCS is the University of Manchester's tech society. We are a big community with a passion for technology and creating innovative solutions for everyone to enjoy. Through our hackathons and other events, we aim to bring students and industry closer together. When we aren’t organising our own events we also travel to events in places like Barcelona, Helsinki, and Bordeaux, amongst other exotic destinations, often free due to various hackathon sponsors. Come join us to see what we get up to this year!
