Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission describes an IT and product development agency with inherent real-world utility, but is undermined by highly exaggerated, unverifiable claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'). Technical implementation is standard for a service agency, and traction evidence is confusing (e.g., citing a 2.5M 'market cap' alongside a 6-person team while claiming 100+ offshore engineers). Overall, it demonstrates minimal verifiable product traction, yielding a low PoU score.

Description

Novvo specializes in the early steps of product development, including strategy, prototyping, and beta development of software and electronic devices. We are experts in the latest enabling technologies including machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT) connectivity, blockchain and augmented reality. We have extensive experience in the medical device, health, retail, and manufacturing industries, with a pragmatic focus on profitability and other business outcomes. Many of our clients are Fortune 500 firms with a promising early concept, but without immediate schedule access to valuable internal IT & engineering resources. We quickly get you from concept to prototype to launch. Novvo is headquartered in the Denver Tech Center, and we have senior resources in Europe and India. We also have over 100 software and electrical engineers available in Bangalore, India to maximize value and enable rapid development. We offer a free initial assessment for developing your product concept. Please contact us at 720-710-0004 or info@novvo.io for more information.
