Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project '5Mins.ai' (submitted as 'BlazeBlade') is a verified, high-potential EdTech startup. Unlike the vague submission claims ('most people'), external verification confirms the company raised ~$6M (Seed) led by AlbionVC and serves enterprise clients like Dropbox and GSK. The platform offers AI-driven, gamified microlearning with proven traction (20x growth reported). While the submission quality was poor (pseudonyms, lack of data), the underlying business has significant real-world utility and market validation, warranting a score comparable to established brands like HackerNoon.
