Pinnacle Group?

Has anyone worked with the headhunter firm Pinnacle Group before? Can't find any prior wso threads about them and they have some interesting smaller investing opportunities like family offices. Not the traditional MF PE type opportunities that this site goes for but would be interested in some of their ops. Just worried if they're a Pinpoint type place before reaching out with any of my info.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, I don't have any specific information about Pinnacle Group. However, I'd advise you to be cautious. If you haven't heard about the firm on WSO before, it might be best to avoid it. Many headhunters can be unprofessional and try to push you into roles that you have no interest in just so they can get their paycheck.

Remember, it's important to do your own research and due diligence before engaging with any headhunting firm. If you're unsure, it might be worth reaching out to other members of the WSO community for their experiences or insights.

And remember, just because a firm isn't well-known or doesn't specialize in traditional MF PE type opportunities, doesn't mean they can't provide valuable opportunities. Sometimes, smaller, less traditional roles can provide unique experiences and opportunities for growth.

Keep your wits about you, do your homework, and good luck!
