Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Universe Inc. addresses a valid problem in B2B sales TAM calculation, but the submission is severely lacking in detail. The claims of reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are unverifiable and unrealistic. Technical details ('Internet') reflect low effort. With a stated team size of 30 and market cap of $2.5M, there is potential real-world operation, but the poor response quality and unsupported claims result in a low PoU score.

Description

Everyday B2B sales teams are building a house without a blueprint. Sales go-to- market strategy is broken, gut driven and inefficient. Sales and executive leadership are comfortable adding headcount and less comfortable and capable of using data and technology to drive decisions. This drives higher CAC, turnover, low LTV deals and poor team moral. Unevrse (u·ni·verse) is a SaaS application for B2B sales organizations that puts data and technology in the hands of leaders to build and execute against a data driven blueprint. Unevrse builds, maintains and prioritizes accounts to form a comprehensive TAM (total addressable market) dataset. From this dataset and the Unevrse interface, users are empowered to strategically align their teams based on their company’s unique value proposition. Built-in machine learning assists users as they make data driven decisions, ensures prioritized market engagement and measures individual performance.
