Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Cooleaf is a legitimate, verified B2B employee engagement platform established in 2016 and acquired by ITA Group in 2024. While the submission itself was of low quality (containing vague and exaggerated claims like 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms significant traction with over 110,000 active users, Fortune 500 clients (e.g., Toyota, Shipt), and industry leadership. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and market relevance in the post-remote work era, warranting a high score despite the poor effort in the submission form.
