Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Venwise is a legitimate, established executive peer network (founded 2012) with high-profile membership (executives from Peloton, SeatGeek) and a clear value proposition. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product'), vague technical details, and likely exaggerated team size statistics. While the underlying business demonstrates strong real-world utility and traction within its niche, the score is significantly penalized by the poor reliability of the submission data and the mismatch between the claimed 'everyone' audience and the actual exclusive C-suite focus.
