Widuz is a legitimate Singapore-based material science startup, spun off from ETH Zurich, developing high-performance bamboo composite lumber (BVL). While the core technology is innovative and addresses a genuine sustainability need, the project submission itself contains significant red flags, including demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and low-effort data. External verification confirms the company exists and has deployed prototypes (e.g., a pavilion in Singapore, a house in Cambodia) but is still in early seed/pilot stages with minimal commercial scale compared to the input's implications.
