Flink

+801
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission corresponds to Flink (goflink.com), a major German quick-commerce unicorn with verified gross revenues projected at ~$600M (2024) and a team of ~9,000 employees. While the project demonstrates massive real-world utility and traction (Unicorn status, millions of orders), the specific submission data was low-quality (vague claims like 'most people have used my product' and an erroneous market cap figure of '2500000'). However, applying the methodology's verification mandate confirms this is a high-utility, established market leader, resulting in a high score despite the poor form entry.
