Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Because Intelligence is a verified, VC-backed startup (Seed round $3M led by Harlem Capital) offering a clear value proposition for Shopify merchants (no-code content automation). While the project itself has strong real-world utility and validated traction (over 100 Shopify reviews, significant funding), the submission quality is extremely poor. The description is copy-pasted from a job posting, and key fields contain hyperbolic or false data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'). The score reflects the high quality of the underlying business dampened significantly by the low-effort, inaccurate submission.

Project Details

Description
Because is a female founded?, VC-backed ecommerce enablement startup that started in Boston and is growing in Tampa?. We just raised our $3M Seed Round led by Harlem Capital and some other awesome investors like 2 Lanterns Ventures, the Chief Talent Officer at Shopify, first 10 operator from Uber, former VP Marketing from Gillette, Launchpad Venture Angel Group, BOSS Syndicate, Service Provider Capital, and more. Now that we’re entering the next phase of growth for Because, we're looking for some awesome folks to join us and grow to the next stage. \n\nNow what does Because Intelligence do? We’re an ecommerce enablement software platform built on top of Shopify that helps small online merchants grow their add to cart rate by up to 38%. We help them do this by integrating their back end data into their front end site experience to drive the most accurate and up to date content for their site visitors. All built for the non-technical marketer- no developer required. \n\nOur automation platform merges the front end of ecommerce website design with a store’s back end data infrastructure (ecommerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce + merchant tools like Shippo and Yotpo) to provide for a fully automated experience. No more out of date delivery info. No more questions about whether or not it’s in stock. No more concerns about shipping costs. And definitely no more lost trust from missing reviews or product details. Now it’s all managed in one place by Because. Data + Content brought peacefully together.?
