Gaining Momentum

Zero Latency Ottawa is a verifiable, revenue-generating franchisee of the global Zero Latency VR brand. The project demonstrates solid local traction with an estimated $500k in lifetime revenue and over 400 positive reviews since its 2023 launch. However, the submission quality is poor, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial terminology ('marketcap' for revenue). While it offers high real-world utility as a local entertainment venue, it lacks the scalability, technical novelty, and audience reach of a high-growth technology project, limiting its score to the 'Small but promising' SME range.
