Certified Problem Solver

Project verified as 'Urban Impact Ventures', a legitimate Venture Capital firm based in Rotterdam and Sofia focusing on decarbonization and circularity (e.g., investments in Hardt Hyperloop, BIYU). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and incorrect terminology ('marketcap' for fund size/AUM). While the actual business is substantial (Target fund size ~€30M-€50M), the score is heavily penalized by the submitter's lack of seriousness and inaccurate data. Verified team size is ~12-15, not 30.
