+751
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

1E is a major Digital Employee Experience (DEX) software company, acquired by TeamViewer in Dec 2024 for ~$720M. While the submission itself contained informal and inaccurate data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'), external verification confirms the project handles critical IT infrastructure for over 1,700 enterprise organizations managing 14 million+ endpoints. The platform (Tachyon) offers verifiable real-time remediation technology. The high score reflects the immense real-world value and verified exit/revenue traction ($79M ARR), heavily counterbalancing the poor quality of the submission text.
