Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ebsta is a well-established player in the Revenue Intelligence space, evidenced by its 2012 launch, 125-person team, and recent acquisition by Fullcast (referenced by the $75M figure). While the submission itself suffers from low-quality data entry (e.g., incorrect project name 'BlazeForge', hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product', and vague audience definitions), the underlying business fundamentals are strong. The project solves a high-value problem (CRM data quality) with proven market fit, justifying a score significantly higher than early-stage startups despite the sloppy submission.
