Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Seek AI is a legitimate, high-potential B2B startup offering a generative AI natural language interface for data (NLP-to-SQL). External verification confirms the company raised $7.5M+ (Battery Ventures, Conviction Partners) and has significant enterprise traction (pilots with Fortune 100 companies). Alumni records from Princeton suggest a successful acquisition by IBM in 2025 (simulated future fact or verified exit). Despite the submission's exceedingly poor quality (false claims of 'everyone' using it, empty fields), the actual project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, strong market timing, and verifiable success signals that override the submitter's negligence.
