FOCUS AREA
Challenge, approach, and impact
Enabling financial freedom to the African people
Leveraging Web3 blockchain technology, create a digital wallet that is fast and secure for easier asset management and a platform for learning how to make better financial choices in Africa.
Matching vision with product
Due to limited team capacity initially, Mara faced challenges in strategizing and expeditiously bringing their ambitious vision to the market.
Align the product with the needs of African users
Account for certain market-specific limitations, such as the use of low-spec Android phones, unstable network coverage in certain areas, and the tariffs that can come with modest mobile data packages.
