Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Everstores is a legitimate Berlin-based startup that raised €18M in Seed funding (2022) to acquire and optimize D2C Shopify brands. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') that contradict the niche B2B nature of the business. While the project has verified funding and technology (ML pricing engines), the lack of recent public traction updates (2024-2025) and the aggregator market downturn result in a lower score than the funding amount typically warrants.
