Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Zeelo is a highly established Transportation-as-a-Service (TaaS) platform with verified Series B funding ($23M+ raised), significant revenue (~$33M annual), and acquisition activity (acquired Kura). While the submission text was low-quality and missing data, external verification confirms it is a 'Much Larger Scale' entity with millions of rides and strong real-world utility in the corporate and education sectors. The score reflects the project's proven market fit and scale, penalized slightly only for the poor quality of the submission response.
