Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Workist is a verified Series A startup (Berlin) with ~€12M in funding and significant B2B traction (150+ customers, millions of documents processed). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', reach 'everyone') and invalid data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified external success of the business, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the inaccurate and lazy submission data.

Description
Millions of people around the world work in administrative jobs and perform highly repetitive work day after day. We believe that copying and pasting data from documents into other IT systems cannot be today's answer to the future of work. We want to change that and create a workplace with less monotony and more impact, creativity and purpose instead!\n\nOur vision at Workist is to use artificial intelligence to automate repetitive tasks and give people the freedom to do what they love.\n\nWe were founded in Berlin in 2019 and are backed by experienced serial entrepreneurs and by VCs. We have a strong team with diverse backgrounds and experience from SAP, IBM, Minodes, Voi, McKinsey, MIT, KIT, Uni Mannheim and LMU \u0026 TUM. \n\nIn 2020, we have turned on the turbo and are on a strong growth trajectory to become the leading B2B transaction, automation provider. We already connect thousands of companies and automate transactions with a volume of several million Euros every week. To help more companies automate their B2B transactions with our product, we are looking for passionate and talented people to take the product and the company to the next level.
