Wonowo was a legitimate Spanish startup founded circa 2015, acting as a search engine for the collaborative economy (transport, accommodation, leisure). Historical records confirm it raised initial capital (~€50k) and won accolades like 'Best App of 2016' from Apple in Spain. However, the project appears currently dormant or inactive with no significant recent media footprint since 2019. The submission drastically inflates current traction with the claim 'most people have used my product' and lists a 'marketcap' value likely referring to a past valuation rather than revenue. The extreme disparity between the submission's claims and the verifiable current status results in a low score, reflecting a 'zombie' project state.
