Boralis

+233
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Boralis is the established investment vehicle of Dutch tech entrepreneur Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten (founder of The Next Web), as evidenced by the portfolio (Usabilla, Human.co, etc.). While the underlying entity has high historical legitimacy and ecosystem impact, the submission itself is of very poor quality with vague claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data fields. The score reflects strong verifiable traction of the portfolio companies, balanced against the lack of direct utility of the holding company website itself and the minimal effort in the project submission.
