Vermeer

Project 'Vermeer' is a high-potential defense technology startup (getvermeer.com) verified to have significant traction, including $10M Series A funding (Draper Associates), ~$4M in SBIR contracts, and a $950M IDIQ contract vehicle with the Air Force. Crucially, the technology (Visual Positioning System for GPS-denied environments) is combat-proven in Ukraine. However, the submission data is heavily corrupted: the user conflated the startup with 'Vermeer Corporation' (agricultural manufacturer, est. 1948, 3000+ employees), resulting in erroneous launch date, team size, and business type entries. The 'Evidence of Traction' field also contained sarcastic text ('most people have used my product'). Despite these submission quality failures, the underlying project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and verified strategic value, justifying a score comparable to established brands.
