Gaining Momentum

Vaqat is a legitimate early-stage HRTech platform connecting students with short-term projects (micro-internships), verified by pilots with Bain & Company and pre-seed funding from Untapped Capital. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying business addresses a genuine market need (consultant support/student experience), the project is currently in a very early/niche phase, contrasting sharply with the submission's exaggerated reach claims.
