FounderNest

Analysis completed on 1/22/2026

+331
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

FounderNest is a verified Series A market intelligence company with significant traction (clients include Novo Nordisk, Roche), contradicting the submission's vague and exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'StarSpirit'). The score reflects the high verified utility and traction of the actual company found at the URL, heavily penalized by a low Quality Factor due to the poor, inaccurate data provided in the submission (wrong name, false reach claims).
