Glue Up

+689
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Glue Up (formerly EventBank) is a verified Series B SaaS company with ~$10M estimated annual revenue and over 1,500 institutional clients, validating high real-world utility despite the poor submission quality. While the input data contained vague and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audienceReach: everyone'), external verification confirms a mature Association Management Software (AMS) platform with significant global traction. The final score reflects a strong business model and market position, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' quality factors due to the lack of verifiable data in the submission itself.
