Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

CueBox is a verified Series A startup (raised ~$3M) based in NYC, providing vertical SaaS for performing arts organizations. While the submission itself is of very poor quality (containing false claims like 'everyone' reach and 'marketcap: null'), external verification confirms a legitimate 11-person team, funding from investors like Plug and Play, and real B2B clients. The project scores well on utility and underlying financial traction but is penalized for niche reach and the submitter's lack of credible data.
