Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Hoodie Hoo is a verifiable, vertically integrated textile and software company (Hoodie Hoo Agency GmbH) based in Germany and Turkey with over 120 employees, fitting the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier (>50 team). While the submission text itself is of extremely low quality (incorrect project name 'ThunderHunter', hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product', and missing revenue data), external validation confirms significant traction with major B2B clients (e.g., Red Bull, Die Zeit) and a functioning B2C app 'Shirtcreator'. The high score reflects the substantial operational reality of the business despite the poor self-reported evidence.
