Unicorn Utility

Reorg (recently rebranded as Octus) is a verified 'unicorn' in the credit intelligence space, acquired by Permira in 2022 for approximately $1.3 billion. While the submission text contains inaccuracies (claiming audience reach is 'everyone' and 'most people' have used it), the financial data provided is accurate and verifiable. The project is a dominant B2B platform serving over 30,000 professionals in hedge funds, law firms, and investment banks. The score reflects its massive real-world success and market validation, slightly penalized for the low-effort quality of the submission text.
