Pinnacle

Pinnacle (heypinnacle.com) is a verified venture-backed startup ($2.9M seed funding) offering an AI-driven management coaching tool ('Pascal') integrated into Slack and Teams. While the project demonstrates high market timing and legitimate technical utility for manager development, the submission itself contained factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacked specific metrics. The evaluation balances the strong external signals of a funded, functional business against the poor quality and exaggerated nature of the provided input.
