Evidence notes

  • Legal entity name, incorporation date, and whether the San Francisco address is a legal HQ or a serviced office are not independently verified
  • The 2022 founding date is unverified. FoodSpot hired Zabella as fractional CFO and the engagement started in 2022. The practice launch date is still unverified
  • Public revenue-range claims conflict ($1M-$20M vs. $1M-$30M across pages) and no CPA/CFA or active license evidence was found
  • Yury Zabella's 20+ years across finance, operations, and technology, and the reported eight-figure sale of Dynamics Resources to Synoptek in 2019, are subject-reported, not independently audited.
Main limitation: Evidence is predominantly first-party. We did not independently verify legal entity, transaction history, or service performance.
