+466
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Compa is a verified, high-traction B2B SaaS company with over $26M in funding (Series A/B led by Storm Ventures) and major enterprise clients like NVIDIA and Airbnb. It solves a critical problem in compensation intelligence by replacing stale survey data with real-time integration. While the project itself is of high value and falls into the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (50+ team, high valuation), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lazy data. The score reflects the verified high utility and traction, slightly penalized for the poor quality of the submission inputs.
