Uzapoint is a verified Kenyan fintech providing ERP and POS solutions to African SMEs, backed by the Google Black Founders Fund and a runner-up in Africa's Business Heroes. While the submission quality was extremely poor (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction with no data), external verification confirms a solid user base of 3,500+ merchants across 7 markets and significant impact in SME financing ($150k+ unlocked). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and strong market timing, but the score is constrained by its 'Minimal Traction' scale (<50k users) relative to the calibration index and the abysmal quality of the submission data.
