Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Mindflow (submitted as 'SwiftForge') is a legitimate, VC-backed cybersecurity automation platform (SOAR) based in Paris. While the submission contained inaccurate claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience, 'most people have used it'), external verification confirms the company raised ~$5.45M in Seed funding (2024) from investors like Nauta Capital and Thales. The project demonstrates high technical innovation with GenAI agents and no-code orchestration for SecOps, addressing a genuine industry problem (analyst burnout). However, the score is tempered by the niche B2B audience compared to mass-market benchmarks and the poor quality of the submission data.
