Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Snouters is a legitimate, seed-funded pet care marketplace based in India, verifiable through its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 2 and angel investment rounds. The company has a confirmed valuation of ~$2.93M and generated ~$61K in revenue for FY2024. While the project shows promise and solves a genuine problem in a growing market, the user submission contained significant inaccuracies (wrong project name 'SwiftShade', exaggerated traction claims like 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects its status as a functioning, funded startup with verifiable but early-stage traction.
