Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Parento is a legitimate, venture-backed ($10.3M) InsurTech company providing paid parental leave insurance, despite the low-quality submission ('everyone', 'most people'). The project solves a critical market gap (paid leave for SMBs) with verified traction including a $5.9M Seed II round in late 2025 and distribution partnerships. The score reflects strong utility, market timing, and verifiable funding, penalized heavily for the submission's inaccurate claims and lack of detail.
