+765
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Tecton is a confirmed 'Unicorn' status enterprise machine learning platform (valued at ~$900M+ and acquired by Databricks in 2025). While the submission text itself was brief and informal, the underlying metrics (valuation, verified domain 'tecton.ai', team pedigree from Uber Michelangelo) are exceptional. The claim 'most people have used my product' is validated indirectly, as Tecton powers infrastructure for consumer giants like Cash App, Uber (via founders' history), and Atlassian. The project represents top-tier real-world utility and innovation.
