+515
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

LoudCrowd is a verifiable, venture-backed Series A company (approx. $4M ARR, $9M funding) with strong B2B traction among major DTC brands (e.g., Revolve, Gymshark). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking any supporting evidence. The PoU score is derived from independent verification of the company's significant real-world utility and market position, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and inaccurate submission data.
