Industry Mainstay

Unyoked is a well-established, venture-backed hospitality startup (approx. $28M raised) with significant real-world traction, operating over 100 off-grid cabins across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and market relevance, the submission provided was of extremely poor quality, containing exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague data. The score reflects the high verifiable value of the business, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the application itself.

Project Details

Project URL
Description
Unyoked partners with private landowners to unlock unique wilderness locations less than 2hrs from the CBD, tuck our cabins on, and open them up for people to satisfy their innate desire to get away from it all.\n\nAs an antidote to modern life, we enable people to give into their yearning to reject the conventions of the 9-to-5 and live like the nomad they know they want to by making the freedom of the wilderness accessible for all.
