Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Future Workshops is a well-established digital agency (founded 2008) with verifiable scale (125+ employees) and significant client achievements (NASDAQ IPO references). While the submission itself was of very poor quality—containing vague claims ('everyone'), mismatched names ('ThunderGale'), and confusing financial data ('2500000 marketcap')—independent verification confirms a robust business model with high real-world utility and traction. The score reflects the strong underlying entity, heavily penalized in the Quality and Response metrics due to the lazy submission.

Description
At Future Workshops we build Apps and Platforms that people love. Founded in 2008 we took advantage of the App Store revolution to help a customer scale from 20 people to an IPO on the NASDAQ worth billions of dollars a few years later through a set of innovative Apps. Today we build and own our own successful software products, and work with top tier, global customers to deliver groundbreaking platforms. We are one of the most experienced smartphone software companies in the world, having built 250+ premium quality Apps.
