+673
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Macrometa is a substantial Series B edge computing company (raised ~$90M) with significant technical innovation in stateful edge (Global Data Network) and AI delivery (PhotonIQ). While the submission itself was low-effort (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used it and providing confusing revenue figures), external verification confirms strong enterprise traction, estimated revenue >$10M, and a team of ~100+. The project solves a critical latency problem for modern apps, justifying a high score despite the poor response quality.
