Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

GigPig is a verified, venture-backed live music marketplace in the UK with significant traction (£1.3M seed funding, £8M+ artist earnings, 600+ venues) despite the extremely poor quality of the submission. The project solves a genuine B2B problem in the hospitality sector with a team of 26. The score reflects high real-world utility and traction, heavily penalized by the submission's lack of detail and low response quality.
