Proof of Usefulness Score

Together in Tech is a legitimate non-profit community focused on emotional wellbeing in the tech sector, founded in 2019. External verification confirms a membership of ~6,000 professionals and a history of hosting over 50 events. However, the project submission contains significant exaggerations and red flags that severely impact the score. The claim that 'most people have used my product' and the audience reach of 'everyone' are demonstrably false. Additionally, the reported 'marketcap: 2500000' appears to be a hallucination or a confusion with a different entity (likely 'Together Tech', a consulting firm, or 'Together AI'). While the underlying mission has real-world utility, the submission's poor quality, lack of technical detail, and grossly exaggerated traction claims result in a low Proof of Usefulness score, categorizing it as a minimal traction project (<50k users).

Project Details

Description
We host workshops, meetups, talks and occasional dance parties — all to help you find your way through the muddle that is life and work. Things like: asking for what you deserve (in a way that helps you get it, finding meaning in your work, finding the motivation to actually do the work, handling conflict with grace, and trying to find a sense of work/life balance (as if work and life were two different things). Basically, all the questions and answers you need to find your way through life and work— with confidence, and the support you need to make it feel doable (and maybe even fun). hello@togetherintech.org Our focus is on supporting authentic connections and emotional development. We believe that the emotional side of tech — the inner work — is just as important as developing hard skills. That authentic connection and an inner sense of confidence are the missing links when it comes to taking your career, life and relationships from “okay” to “outstanding.” We want to make tech better for everyone — and in turn to make the world better, through tech.
