UMRA reports app milestones as EquityPilot support continues
Lagos, Nigeria & Dubai, UAE — 16 Apr 2026
UMRA, a digital health product developed by Ponce Health Nigeria Limited and supported by FasterCapital through the EquityPilot program, is reporting concrete product and operational milestones as it progresses toward a full app-store release. The team has secured a DUNS number, established an organizational developer account, and achieved Google Play early-access status while conducting closed-circle testing ahead of an official launch.
FasterCapital continues to provide execution-focused guidance through EquityPilot, prioritizing milestone planning and fundraising-readiness support as UMRA focuses on controlled user testing, app-store compliance, and final release preparations.
