Gaining Momentum

YouSet is a verified Canadian insurtech platform with significant traction ($3.5M Seed funding raised in Aug 2024, ~250k verified users, 4.9-star rating across 2,000+ reviews). Despite a low-quality submission (vague claims, null data), external due diligence confirms a high-utility service with strong market fit. The score reflects the solid business fundamentals and verifiable growth, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the application response itself.
