The investment-commitment terminology, reported DataSpine experience and Smart Devices acquisition are source-backed. The demand for clearer funding disclosures and criticism of success measured through publicity are editorial opinions. The account of three disappointed startups is the author’s reported experience and has not been independently established here. Claims that all investments were fake, all investors behaved dishonestly or named programmes committed criminal fraud are not established.
