Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Gigzoe is a verifiable talent marketplace based in India, connecting freelancers/developers with SMBs. External search confirms the project was founded circa 2017/2018 and successfully raised angel funding from high-profile investors including Kapil Dev and Manas Fuloria. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring false claims of mass adoption ('most people have used my product') and listing soft skills as technology. While the business is legitimate and funded, it operates on a much smaller scale than the calibration benchmark (HackerNoon), justifying a score in the 'Small but promising' range.
