Unicorn Utility

The Constant Company (Vultr) is a major cloud infrastructure provider with a verified $3.5 billion valuation (Dec 2024), 1.5 million+ customers, and 32 global data center locations. Despite the extremely high real-world utility and traction (Unicorn status), the submission itself was low-effort ('everyone', 'most people'), which slightly impacted the confidence and response quality scores. However, the objective business metrics place this project in the top tier of utility and impact.
