Instrumentl

Instrumentl is a verified, high-traction YC S16 company providing grant management software to over 3,000 nonprofits with estimated revenue in the $8M-$15M range. The project has high real-world utility and market fit. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing vague or inaccurate claims (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people'), and failed to detail the technology ('leadership'). Consequently, while the base scores reflect the company's success, significant Quality Factor penalties were applied to the Evidence of Traction and Technical Innovation categories.
