Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Daato is a verifiable B2B ESG software platform based in Berlin (Daato Technologies GmbH), which was acquired by EQS Group in late 2024 and raised a €5M seed round. Despite the extremely poor quality of the submission (which contains false claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'reach: everyone'), the underlying project is high-quality, legally compliant, and has achieved a successful exit. The score reflects the verified real-world success and utility of the platform, heavily penalized by the low-effort submission data.
