+31
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Decima Ventures is a verified, established investment firm with a history of successful exits (Exalink, PineApp) and a recent Web3-focused fund (Decima Fund, ~$30M) backed by major players like SBI Holdings. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing outdated copy (referencing 2014 as recent), false hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and vague audience definitions ('everyone'). While the entity has significant real-world traction and capital, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the poor quality of the response.
