Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Influur is a legitimate, high-growth Series A startup backed by Point72 Ventures and celebrity investors (Sofia Vergara), with over $20M in total funding. While the submission data was extremely low-quality (claiming 'most people' have used it and listing no tech stack), external verification confirms a team of ~120 employees, 30,000+ verified influencers, and 5,000+ brands. The platform differentiates itself with integrated fintech features (Influur Wallet) for cross-border payments between the US and Latin America. The score reflects the company's significant real-world traction and capital backing, though penalized for the poor quality of the provided input text.
