Gaining Momentum

Edward Consulting is a verifiable, high-impact educational consulting firm founded by Bimpe Femi-Oyewo, with a confirmed track record of securing over $26 million in scholarships for African students. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and lazy data entry. While the business demonstrates strong real-world utility and market timing in the 'japa' (education migration) sector, it scores low on technical innovation as a service-based agency. The score reflects the legitimate business value penalized by the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission.
