You're In Business

Welance is a legitimate SaaS platform targeting the creator economy with 'business-in-a-box' tools (invoicing, portfolio, payments). However, the submission contains hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', reach is 'everyone'), which severely impacts credibility. Despite a 2021 launch, external data suggests minimal traction (low app downloads, unfunded status). The product has clear utility for its niche but fails to demonstrate significant real-world adoption or growth to match its claims.
