Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Tripesa is a verifiable travel-tech startup based in Uganda/Kenya that provides no-code tools and payment solutions for tourism merchants. While the project solves a genuine problem (digitization of African SMEs) and has raised pre-seed funding, the submission itself is of extremely low quality. It contains hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'), typos, and missing data fields. The score reflects the legitimate potential of the underlying business, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence and professionalism in this specific submission.
