Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Snab is a legitimate, VC-backed fintech startup (Y Combinator W22) based in Madrid, offering a B2B platform for treasury management and payments. Despite the low-quality submission (containing false claims like 'everyone' uses it and 'marketcap: null'), external verification confirms it is a 'Small but promising' company with ~$1.8M in funding and a genuine problem-solution fit in the enterprise finance space. The score reflects the strong external validation of the project's utility and potential, heavily balanced by penalties for the inaccurate and unprofessional data provided in the submission.
