Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Emmeline Ventures is a legitimate, female-founded venture capital firm established in 2022 with approximately $25M in assets under management (Fund I) and a portfolio of ~27 companies (e.g., Alloy, Lovu). However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies: it claims a team size of 125 (reality is ~3 GPs + ~18 advisors/partners), incorrectly labels AUM as 'marketcap', and provides a nonsensical traction claim ('most people have used my product'). While the entity has high real-world utility and verified traction in the VC space, the poor submission quality and hyperbolic claims necessitate a penalty on the final score.
