Gaining Momentum

YouVah is a verified, venture-backed HRTech platform focused on internships for teenagers in India, having raised ~$210k in Pre-Seed funding (CIIE.CO). While the project demonstrates measurable traction (claimed 50k+ users, school partnerships), the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing financial data. Furthermore, external search reveals significant negative sentiment regarding its 'pay-to-intern' business model, with numerous user reviews alleging low value. The score reflects the confirmed funding and user base, heavily penalized by the reputational risks and the low-effort submission.
