ShoppinPal (rebranded as LINK) is a legitimate, venture-backed iPaaS provider for the hospitality and retail sectors, having raised over $5M and serving ~40,000 SMBs. Despite the high-quality underlying business and strong product-market fit, the submission itself was of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate audience descriptions. The score reflects the strong verification of the company's financials and market position, heavily penalized by the low quality of the submission inputs.
