ScaleMP isn't building the next AI writer—it's a virtualization company that accidentally found itself in the AI content space. With $18M in funding but only 12 employees, their pivot reveals a fundamental identity crisis in the AI gold rush.

"They're not competing with ChatGPT—they're competing with irrelevance."

The funding-to-revenue ratio is the smoking gun: $18M raised versus $400K annual revenue. That's a 45x revenue multiple on a company that appears to have pivoted away from its core technology. The employee count of 12 suggests they're either in stealth mode or in survival mode. Given the zero web traffic, survival mode seems more likely.

• Virtualization expertise trapped behind an AI content facade
• Website traffic so low it's statistically insignificant
• 18M in funding with 400K revenue suggests a pivot gone wrong
• Leadership focused on cloud infrastructure while marketing AI writers
