Gaining Momentum

Tenderize AI appears to be a legitimate South African fintech consultancy and platform provider (Salesforce partner) focusing on the informal economy (taxi industry, spaza shops). However, the project submission is of very poor quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), nonsensical financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'), and a mismatch in project names ('ThunderStorm' vs 'Tenderize'). While the '17mn commuters' claim in search results suggests significant potential B2B reach, the direct user traction is unverified and the input data severely undermines credibility.
