Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Raven.ai is a legitimate, high-value manufacturing technology company (Series A, ~$16.5M funding) with verified enterprise clients like Coca-Cola and Michelin. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims about audience reach ('everyone'), nonsensical traction statements ('most people have used my product'), and mislabeled financial data. The Proof of Usefulness score reflects the high real-world utility and verified commercial traction of the entity, severely penalized by the submission's lack of professional accuracy and the niche nature of the B2B industrial market.

Description
Raven is a manufacturing technology leader that helps companies empower the frontline and improve operational performance with our automated contextualization and OEE software. Raven combines and analyzes data from machines and input from operators to provide a real-time, meaningful timeline of events with context for everything that’s happening on the line — accounting for 100% of production time and OEE losses. By replacing manual pen-and-paper tasks with smart devices, operators can tag the exact reason for downtime and inefficiencies with the touch of a button.

Powered by AI-based cloud analytics and IoT/edge devices.
