Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Vindi is a verified, high-traction fintech company in Brazil, acquired by Locaweb for R$ 180M (~$33M) in 2021. It provides essential recurring billing infrastructure for thousands of businesses with a team of 450-750 employees. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone'), incorrect terminology ('marketcap: 2500000'), and minimal effort. The score reflects the project's high real-world verifiable utility and scale (400-700 range), significantly penalized by the poor quality of the input data.
