You're In Business

Hala Walla is a verified Qatar-based UX agency developing 'Theia', an accessibility solution for visually impaired visitors in cultural spaces. The project has achieved local recognition (Top 25 in Idea Camp 8), indicating early validation. However, the submission's claim that 'most people have used my product' is unsubstantiated for this specific B2B solution and likely conflates the project with the popular 'Hala Walla' sticker app or is hyperbole. Current traction is minimal (<50k users) and focused on a niche market, placing the project in the early-stage category.
