Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission appears to be a low-effort entry or potential impersonation of the legitimate private equity firm 'HarbourVest Partners' (whose actual domain is harbourvest.com). The submission contains factually incorrect claims (e.g., stating the audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product' for a niche PE firm), lacks any technical detail, and provides a suspicious domain. Due to the lack of verifiable data and the hallmarks of a spam entry, the score is minimal.
