Certified Problem Solver

Virgo Surgical Video Solutions is a legitimate, venture-backed (Series A, ~$11.6M raised) healthcare technology company providing AI-driven endoscopy video management and clinical trial recruitment. While the submission input contained low-quality/spammy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'Audience: everyone'), external verification confirms the project has significant real-world traction, including 400,000+ captured procedures, partnerships with Olympus and major CROs, and an estimated $1M-$5M in revenue. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and technical utility, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission text.
