Unicorn Utility

Prophecy.io is a verified, high-growth Series B data engineering platform with approximately $116M in funding and estimated $30M+ annual revenue. The project addresses a critical enterprise need (legacy ETL to Spark migration) with strong market timing in the AI/Copilot space. While the submission itself contained low-quality, hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'), external verification confirms significant Fortune 500 adoption and a team of ~180 employees. The score reflects the project's exceptional real-world merit, despite the poor quality of the specific submission data.
