Certified Problem Solver

Upswing Health is a verifiable, revenue-generating digital health company (approx. $4M annual revenue, $5M seed funding) offering musculoskeletal telehealth solutions. Despite the high utility and proven business model, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (false claims of 'everyone' reach, lack of data). The evaluation score reflects the solid external reality of the business, penalized significantly by the lack of evidence provided in the submission.
