Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Raenest is a verified, high-growth fintech startup (Series A, $11M funding, 700k+ users) solving critical cross-border payment challenges for African freelancers and businesses. Despite the low-quality, vague submission (likely a low-effort entry), external investigation confirms exceptional traction with over $1B in processed volume. The project scores highly on utility, traction, and market timing, though it incurs a penalty for the poor quality of the submission response.
