Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

SCiFi Foods (formerly Artemys Foods) was a legitimate cultivated meat startup that ceased operations in June 2024 due to funding challenges. While the project raised ~$40M and developed significant intellectual property (recently acquired by the Good Food Institute for academic research), the submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product'). The company never launched a commercial product, and the 'audience reach' is effectively zero. The score reflects the residual value of the technology despite the business failure and the low quality of the submission.

Description
There was once a time when the future was full of excitement. When innovation meant building a better tomorrow. It meant marveling at progress that would advance humanity (the collective good, the common good). SCiFi Foods is not the future we fear. It’s the future we dream of. We are making meat with the same taste, texture, and nutrition as conventional meat, but without any of the cruelty or cost to the planet. Our cultivated meat is something everyone can feel good about. Real beef, re-imagined.\n\n\nThe future is coming soon.
