You're In Business

Epique.mg is a verified Malagasy literary social network with confirmed local media coverage and award nominations (Global Startup Awards). However, the submission's claims of reaching 'everyone' and 'most people' are contradicted by recent data showing ~400 active members. The project addresses a genuine cultural niche (publishing access in Madagascar) but is currently at a very early stage with minimal verified revenue or mass adoption.
