Unicorn Utility

Rattle is a verified, high-growth SaaS company backed by Tier 1 investors (Sequoia, Lightspeed, Insight Partners) with approximately $29M in funding and estimated $11M annual revenue. While the user submission contained low-effort placeholder data (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms it creates significant utility by integrating Salesforce with Slack/Teams, solving a major pain point for sales organizations. The project demonstrates exceptional traction and product-market fit in the B2B revenue operations space.
