Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Kindo is a legitimate, high-growth Series A startup (raised ~$27.6M) offering an AI-native orchestration platform (DevSecOps) with a proprietary LLM 'Deep Hat'. Despite the submission containing low-effort and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), external verification confirms significant market traction, including 3x growth in enterprise deployments and 400% ARR growth. The project scores highly on utility, innovation, and timing, but the score is penalized by the low quality of the submission data.
