Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Selmo.io is a verified, seed-funded B2B SaaS company based in Poland with ~30 employees and international expansion (Poland, Italy, France, Philippines). The platform automates social commerce (live selling) on Facebook/Instagram and processes tens of millions in GMV. However, the submission quality is critically low (e.g., 'audience: everyone', 'revenue: null', 'evidence: most people'), which severely depresses the score. While the underlying business is 'Small but Promising' (comparable to the 100-250 range), the PoU score is penalized due to the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission and the false claims regarding audience size.
