You're In Business

VividQ is a legitimate, high-potential deep tech company with verified Series A funding (~$30M) and partnerships (Arm, JVCKenwood). However, this specific submission is of critically low quality, featuring demonstrably false claims such as 'most people have used my product' and generic audience targets ('everyone'). While the underlying technology (computer-generated holography) and market timing are excellent, the score is significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission text and the dishonesty of the traction claims.
