Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Zencape' was a real venture backed by investors (Behind Genius Ventures, Opal Ventures) focused on endometriosis and pelvic pain, but it publicly announced its shutdown in October 2024 due to a failure to find sustainable unit economics. This submission appears to be a low-quality or test entry, evidenced by false tags ('space-technology'), a generic handle ('FrostStone'), and clearly fabricated traction claims ('most people have used my product'). Due to the verified shutdown of the company and the red flags in the submission data, the Proof of Usefulness is negligible.

Description
At Zencape, we’re on a mission to close the gender pain gap, starting with period pain, endometriosis, and fibroids. Our charge is to build the most inclusive, affirming, and comprehensive health care platform for those historically underserved \u0026 dismissed by healthcare. We’ve talked to hundreds (and counting!) of women, trans folks, and non-binary people to co-create a better way.\n\nZencape is a women-led, patient-first founding team on a mission to build the care platform we’ve needed in our journeys. We are imagining an entirely new journey for care that is supportive at every step. We have an incredible roster of investors and advisors backing us in creating that future. Our medical team is comprised of practicing physicians \u0026 leaders in the space of pelvic pain and integrative medicine. Our investors include Behind Genius Ventures, Opal Ventures, leaders from Carbon Health, and the founder of the pelvic pain program at Weill Cornell.\n\nWe don’t use mission-driven as just a label, we are actually solving a real problem that likely someone you know suffers from. What we are building will raise the standard of care for communities long over-due for solutions. If that sounds like exciting work to you, please reach out!
