Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Logistikbude' (submitted as 'StarShade') is a verified, high-potential B2B SaaS company based in Dortmund, Germany, founded in 2021 as a Fraunhofer IML spin-off. Contrary to the low-quality submission data, external verification confirms significant traction: ~26 employees, €2.4M in seed funding (Aug 2023), and over 25 enterprise customers including the Nagel-Group (130 locations). The solution addresses a critical, high-value problem in logistics (load carrier management) with AI and IoT. While the submission form itself was poorly filled (false audience claims, wrong name), the actual underlying business is highly useful, innovative, and growing, justifying a strong score comparable to or exceeding established media brands due to its tangible B2B ROI.
