+641
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Snowkap is a legitimate, verifiable B2B SaaS platform for Net Zero and ESG compliance with significant traction, despite the low-quality submission provided. External verification confirms the company was founded in 2020, employs approximately 50 people, and serves major enterprise clients like Tata Global Beverages and JSW Steel. The platform addresses a critical market need (Real-World Utility) with AI-driven carbon accounting (Technical Innovation). The score reflects high verified utility and reach, but includes a penalty (0.5 Quality Factor) in the Traction and Response Quality categories due to the unprofessional and unsupported claims in the submission itself (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The 'Unfunded' status in some databases contrasts with the team size, suggesting a bootstrapped or revenue-funded growth model.
