Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Codi is a verified, venture-backed (Series A, a16z) marketplace for flexible commercial real estate, addressing a high-utility problem in the hybrid work era. While the project itself demonstrates significant traction ($16M+ funding, expansion to major US cities), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the high real-world value and verified market position of the company, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the unreliable submission inputs.

Description
The commercial real estate industry is stuck in the past. Companies are shifting towards workplace flexibility, and long-term leases with an antiquated search process don’t fit their needs. Codi is solving this problem with private offices built for the way people work today. With easy move-ins, turnkey spaces, and no long-term leases, every company can find a space where their team can thrive. \n\nMore than a space provider, Codi becomes companies' long-term growth partners, adapting their spaces to the team culture and growth needs.
