Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Venture Lane is a verified, established B2B tech startup hub in Boston (launched 2018) with a physical coworking space and active accelerator program. External search confirms a community of ~2,200 founders and 50+ resident startups, validating the business model despite the poor quality of this specific submission. The submission contains lazy/inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and invalid contact data, which significantly lowered the Response Quality score. However, the Real-World Utility and verifyable Traction of the actual entity support a score in the 'Small but promising' range.
