Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Farmz2U is a verified, high-potential AgTech startup (Techstars 2020 alumni) addressing critical food security challenges in Nigeria and Kenya. External validation confirms verifiable traction (~30,000 growers, >$2M in procurement orders, industry awards), significantly outperforming the low-quality submission data provided. The submission contained inaccurate claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 17000000' likely referencing valuation or local currency), which resulted in heavy penalties for Response Quality and Traction evidence quality factors. However, the project's real-world utility and verified market timing drive a solid score despite the poor application effort.
