You're In Business

Iabomi is a verifiable e-commerce platform operating in Mali with a live Android app and recognized local media coverage. However, the submission contains significant exaggerations regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). The claimed financial metric ('marketcap: 2500000') is ambiguous (likely XOF, implying ~$4k USD, or a confused valuation). While the project addresses a genuine local need (digitalizing commerce in West Africa), the disparity between the verifiable footprint and the submission's claims results in a lower score.
