Gaining Momentum

VOLET Technologies S.A. is a verifiable fintech entity in Mozambique with a functioning 'Super App' available on Google Play. Search verification confirms over 50,000+ downloads and active development (updated late 2025), validating genuine market traction in the Southern African region. However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbole ('most people have used my product') and vague technical details. While the project demonstrates real-world utility for financial inclusion in an underbanked market, the disparity between the user's exaggerated claims and the actual regional scale (50k users vs. 'everyone') limits the score. The project falls into the 'Small but promising' category.
