Unicorn Utility

Vue Storefront (rebranded to Alokai in 2024) is a market-leading Frontend-as-a-Service (FEaaS) solution for composable commerce. External verification confirms significant scale: $38.9M+ in funding, ~112 employees, ~$7.8M estimated annual revenue, and over 2,200 customers including enterprise brands. While the submission itself was low-quality (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), the underlying project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, strong technical innovation (Headless PWA), and robust market traction. The score reflects a high-value technology infrastructure project, penalized slightly for the lack of specific data in the submission.
