Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

OSlash, while once a promising startup backed by Accel Partners ($5M raised), permanently ceased operations in November 2023 due to a lack of product-market fit. The submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding active usage ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). As a discontinued project with no current utility or active user base, the Proof of Usefulness is negligible despite its historical funding success.
