Founders Factory

+605
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Founders Factory' is a highly established, legitimate, and successful venture studio/accelerator based in the UK with over $1B in portfolio value and significant corporate partnerships (e.g., L'Oreal, Aviva). External verification confirms verifiable traction including notable exits (Landvault, TrustedHousesitters) and estimated revenue >$17M. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), vague data ('audience: everyone'), and valid financial data replaced with 'null'. The high Proof of Usefulness score reflects the undeniable real-world impact and scale of the entity, severely penalized by the lack of effort and detail in the submission.
