WitiHome appears to be a local smart home installation service (based in Escondido, CA) rather than a scalable technology platform. The submission contains significant discrepancies, including a claimed team size of 30 despite a 'marketcap' (likely total cumulative revenue) of only $500k, and demonstrably false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the service of installing Nest/IoT devices is useful, the project lacks technical innovation and verifiable scalability.

Description
Home living has lagged far behind the rapid technological advancements of other sectors. Homeowners are often unaware of the benefits of IOT devices, lacking in the technological capability to set up their devices, or physically unable to perform installation. With a wide array of emerging home security, connectivity, and assistant devices, the benefit of home automation is finally outweighing the upfront costs. Homeowners, HOA's, homebuilders, and landlords merely lack the means to reap the benefits. WitiHome is solving this. As a smart-home centered installation and support service, we bridge the gap between smart-home producers and smart-home consumers. It's time for everyone to update their living.
