Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Next Ventures (operating FundedNext) is a verified, large-scale fintech player in the proprietary trading space, boasting over 5 million monthly visits and verified payouts exceeding $125M. While the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (vague claims, hyperbole like 'most people', and data discrepancies), the underlying business is highly successful, solving a clear problem for capital-constrained traders. The score reflects the massive verifiable traction and market relevance, penalized significantly for the lack of effort and precision in the submission.
