Category Standard

Beautiful.ai is a well-established, Series B funded company (approx. $16M raised) with estimated annual revenue of $25M-$50M and over 1 million users. While the submission form itself contained low-effort, hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms the project is a market leader in AI-powered presentation software with significant real-world utility and traction. The score reflects the project's high verified value, adjusted down slightly for the poor quality of the specific submission data.
