Universal Recognition Token is the first blockchain-based corporate rewards marketplace where employees may sell and auction their gifts, rewards and prizes to the general public. URT is disrupting a $90 billion dollar annual spend market in the United States alone, according to the Incentive Federation.
American corporations spend over $46 billion each year on employee gifts to be awarded via employee recognition programs that acknowledge outstanding employee achievement. Typically, these gifts come in the form of gift cards or merchandise. Although some employees receive gifts they want and appreciate, a not insignificant amount of the time these gifts are seen as unwanted or undesirable by employees.
Consequently, many gifts are discarded altogether by employees. We propose to monetize the market of unwanted corporate gifts by matching those gifts with individuals wishing to purchase them using blockchaintechnology such as smart contracts. Employees will be able to liquidate their unwanted gifts for cash or marketplace points (at the employer’s option) and do in an immutable and traceable way; value realized by gifts in this manner can be spent on alternate gifts or saved toward a future gift of greater value (employee’s option).

The team needs some fleshing out. Advisors don't have any public (at least LinkedIn) association with the project. Red flag.
The vision is kind of there - but it's so, so niche when just for corporate rewards programs. It could be worth looking into more. There is some scope there, but at this stage, not as convincing. Only because of how very niche this is.
The product - the link to your MVP doesn't work. I can't tell what this is going to be right now, and what it can potentially do. In addition, I'm just not convinced of the adoption because you're talking about corporate adoption. Seems like too uphill a climb at this point in time. No fault of yours, obviously.
