Why this score? ↓

What we have established three decisions, kept apart

  1. 1 Identity verified Not recorded

    No person- or entity-level identity check is on record for this company. A name match is not one.

  2. 2 Evidence sufficient to publish Yes

    The inclusion bar: two or more independent sourced evidence families. This profile is published and listed. It is a statement about how much evidence we hold, and about nothing else.

  3. 3 Fit for a seed/Series-A sourcing buyer Not established

    We have not established fit. That is not a soft no and not a soft yes — it is unknown, and it is never counted as a qualified prospect.

Narrative vs. reality Latest filing does not date the money

Reported narrative · Tier 2
No reported round on record.
Filed reality · Tier 0 · SEC
9 Form D
latest filed 2017-10-26 · none near the reported round

The most recent filing (D, filed 2017-10-26) carries no first-sale date in our record. The filing date is when the notice reached EDGAR, not when the money moved, so no financing date is established. This panel is not saying the money is old, and it is not saying it is new. Neither is established by this filing.

Regulatory filings SEC EDGAR · primary source

Form D filings — the company's own authoritative record of a Reg D private raise, filed with the SEC. Primary-source evidence: not commentary, not inference. 9 filings, latest filed 2017-10-26. A Form D is filed after the sale, so the filing date is when the notice reached the SEC — not when the round closed. Where the issuer stated a first-sale date it is shown beside it, and a D/A amends an earlier offering rather than reporting a new one.

Financing events four different events, four different dates

A first sale, a filing, an amendment and a public announcement are not the same event, and one date may not stand in for another. Where the latest financing date cannot be established from what we hold, this says unknown rather than substituting a date we do have.

Gray-market attention, not quality. 48+ HN mentions (peak 125 points). Claim-shaped headlines are rumors until corroborated — a Tier-3 factual claim carries no evidentiary weight on its own.
