+756
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Gozem is a highly significant 'Super App' in West and Central Africa with verifiable Series B funding (~$77M total) and massive regional traction (1M+ users, 600+ employees). While the submission itself was extremely low-effort (vague claims like 'most people have used my product' and lack of technical details), external verification confirms it is a market leader in Togo, Benin, Gabon, and Cameroon. The score reflects the immense real-world utility and proven scale, penalized slightly for the lack of specific insights in the application.
