Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

MetaNovas is a legitimate, venture-backed biotechnology company (Series A, ~$5M funding) specializing in AI-driven ingredient discovery, with verified partnerships (L'Oréal, Beiersdorf). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), and failing to list core technologies (listing 'art' instead of 'molecular dynamics' or 'deep learning'). The score reflects the high potential and real-world utility of the underlying business, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-effort submission data.
