Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Venn Apps is a verifiable, high-end mobile app builder for Shopify merchants (SaaS + Agency model). Unlike the low-effort submission suggests, the company has significant traction, powering native apps for major brands like Represent, Motel Rocks, and Anine Bing. This validates the indirect reach of 'millions' of shoppers, although the direct client base is in the dozens/hundreds (B2B). The project scores highly on utility and verifiable traction (blue-chip clients) but is penalized heavily for a poor quality submission ('most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null') and relatively small team size compared to larger tech platforms.
