Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Kawa Space is a legitimate, venture-backed (Seed stage, ~$1.8M raised) space-tech startup based in India, focusing on geospatial intelligence and ELINT. However, the submission quality is critically poor, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and missing data. While the core technology (satellite observation) has high potential utility for defense and agriculture, the project appears to have generated negligible revenue (~$2k in FY23-24) after 6 years of operation, suggesting a lack of commercial product-market fit. The score is heavily penalized by the submission's inaccuracies and lack of verifiable traction evidence.
