Gaining Momentum

The 'Young American Innovators Coalition' is a verifiable non-partisan initiative under Promly (a registered 501(c)(3) social enterprise). While the underlying project has genuine real-world utility in youth policy advocacy, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, submitted by a known pattern-matching user ('WhisperHunter') with generic, false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and irrelevant financial metrics ('marketcap'). The score reflects the legitimacy of the parent organization (Promly) and the value of the cause, heavily penalized for the lack of specific evidence, false claims in the application, and lack of technical innovation.

Description
Through the Young American Innovators Coalition (nonpartisan), we amplify the voices of young people ages 14-25 in US policy. Young people have insights that should and could be shared more effectively with policy makers both from the startup tech landscape and their own lived experience. Many new policies are intended to help young people, but rarely is there effective multigenerational collaboration to create the best possible policy initiatives that impact the next generation. With the help of multiple lobbying efforts in DC, we are able to highlight the voice and experience of young people in multiple policy areas- education, mental health, tech, climate, and more.
