Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

SyndicateRoom is an established UK fintech and FCA-regulated equity investment platform, offering high real-world utility through its data-driven 'Access EIS' fund. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing hallucinated traction claims ('most people have used my product'), inaccurate audience definitions ('everyone'), and empty metric fields. While the underlying entity is strong (likely 500+ score potential), the evaluation is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the input, the laziness of the response, and the blatantly false reach claims.

Description
SyndicateRoom is fintech company made up of data-scientists, investment professionals, software developers and marketers with one mission: to be an early investor in every British startup success story.\n\nTo do this – and make fund investors money – we don’t try to spot the next Big Thing.\n\nInstead, we apply a data-driven model to portfolio construction; a repeatable process designed to maximise returns and minimise risk for fund investors. As such, we build startup portfolios that don’t attempt to predict the future; they work to stack the odds in investors’ favour.\n\nOur fund, Access EIS, aims to build investors a diversified portfolio of 50+ companies by co‑investing exclusively with some of the UK’s best-performing angel investors.
