Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Moonlake AI is a highly legitimate, high-potential deep tech startup backed by $28M in seed funding from tier-1 investors (NVIDIA, AIX, Threshold) and founders with Stanford/NVIDIA backgrounds. However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing placeholder text and false claims ('most people have used my product') which contradict its actual status as a Private Beta/Stealth product (launched Oct 2025). While the technical innovation and market timing are exceptional, the Proof of Usefulness score is constrained by the lack of current public user adoption and the low-effort submission.
