Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Marquee Equity is a verifiable, established fundraising enablement platform with significant scale (100+ employees, ~$84M valuation). While the project demonstrates high real-world traction and revenue potential, the submission itself contained hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). The score reflects the company's actual market position and utility, heavily penalized for the low-quality and unverifiable data provided in the entry form. User sentiment is mixed, with valid utility in data-room creation but criticism regarding cold-outreach efficacy.
