+605
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Delightree is a verified Series A startup (backed by Accel, YC/Alchemist alumni) with ~$9.6M in funding and significant B2B traction (300+ franchise networks), despite the submission containing lazy and hyperbolic metadata claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The project solves a high-value problem for deskless workforces, digitizing SOPs and operations. While the submission quality was poor, external verification confirms strong market fit, revenue generation (~$2M-$4M est.), and a growing team of ~35 employees. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals heavily weighted against the poor submission data.

Description
The future is here. It's digital, it's remote, and it's on autopilot.\n\nPhysical businesses like restaurants and retail stores are slow and inefficient with their internal operations, like training new employees, launching new products, and onboarding more locations, because all their procedures and documents are on pen and paper, even in 2021!\n\nDelightree is building the operating system for physical businesses like restaurant and retail chains, for digitising their operations, SOPs, quality inspections, and routine checks.\n\nWe're building that tech backend for these businesses starting with helping them convert their **standard operating procedures to simple snippets** on smartphones that frontline staff can easily refer to.\n\nSoftware for the next wave of enterprise users who work at brick-and-mortar stores will be very different. Build the future with us, as we revolutionise the way these businesses are run and operated.
