Venture Way Startup Ecosystem appears to be a regional consulting and networking agency based in Kerala, India, rather than the global tech platform described. While the entity exists (linked to Sparks Angel Network), the submission contains objectively false and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). Public data shows minimal digital footprint (36 YouTube subscribers) and no evidence of the claimed $35M market cap or mass adoption. The discrepancy between the submission's claims and reality severely impacts the score.
