+306
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Strac is a verified Y Combinator (W22) company offering high-utility Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions. While the submission itself was poor (containing vague and exaggerated claims like 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms significant traction with enterprise clients (e.g., UiPath, Databricks), $3.5M+ in funding, and a strong product-market fit in the GRC/Security sector. The score reflects the high quality of the verified project, penalized moderately for the low effort and inaccuracy of the submission text.
