+678
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Volantio is a verified B2B travel technology scale-up delivering significant revenue optimization for major global airlines (Alaska, Qantas, IAG, etc.). Although the submission itself was low-quality (providing vague/hyperbolic claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), external verification confirms the company generates estimated annual revenue between $3M-$7M, has raised significant venture capital from strategic investors (JetBlue Technology Ventures, Amadeus, IAG), and employs ~35 people. The 'Yana' platform solves a critical, high-value problem in airline capacity management. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction, penalized slightly for the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission form.
