Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

HuddleUp is a legitimate seed-stage HRTech startup based in India with verifiable traction (~2,000 teams, ~$165k annual revenue, backed by Anicut Capital). However, the project submission is of extremely poor quality. The 'marketcap' figure (377,000,000) appears to be a currency confusion (likely 37.7 Crore INR, approx. $4.5M USD valuation) presented without units, and the claim that 'most people have used my product' is factually incorrect. The score reflects a functioning business with real utility, heavily penalized for a misleading and low-effort submission.
