Techies Node Thoughts
The app is still in the building stage, so it is much too early to deliver a comprehensive verdict. However our initial impression is that the platform has identified a legitimate problem and can actually achieve plenty of traction if it presents a realistic viable way of solving it. However the team has a long road ahead of it in terms of operations, infrastructure and marketing. The problem it is solving is multi-layered, and the platform will need a huge funding base, and even a partnership or two if it is going to build a platform that will be able to achieve its goals in a country like Nigeria.

Induedge is solving a real problem that is much needed in Africa and as such the platform has plenty of potential. Again the app is still at the early stage so comparisons to Andela are not necessary. But the team must start to consider issues around brand identity, growth and operations. Questions like would the platform be an all comers or would it specialize in certain fields like Andela? (each option has its implications for identity and growth)
