Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Jock MKT was a legitimate, venture-backed Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) platform founded in 2019 that raised ~$11.7M (Series A). However, external verification confirms the platform is no longer operational as an independent entity, having been acquired by/merged with Splash Sports in mid-2024 with the app subsequently closing. The submission contains significant inaccuracies, including a false name ('SwiftFang'), hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and invalid audience data ('everyone'). While the technology was innovative during its lifespan, the current Proof of Usefulness is minimal due to the product's discontinuation and the low quality of the provided evidence.
