Does not seem to have the significant independent coverage from multiple reliable sources expected of a WP:NCORP. Currnet coverage is funding (not significant), rehashed press releases (not independent), and/or not from an RS. Better sources were not located when doing a BEFORE.

Keep waving away 16 sources including Forbes and others that discuss this fairly large business make one wonder if any business is entitled to a wikipedia page if they have not been part of some big controversy. Legacypac (talk) 20:07, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to explain my evaluation of any of the sources, which I did in summary form in the nomination. Forbes can be a good example of the kinds of problems with the sources and so I'll go in depth. It was written by a Forbes contributor which per current consensus is not a reliable source; I see no reason in Ms. Jones's biography to suggest she is an expert in this area which would lend some validity to her writing even if still presenting issues with editorial process making it fall short of RS.

Delete unless better coverage is found. I agree with nom's assessments that the coverage provided is routine investment press mixed with republication of press releases. The Forbes source is possibly the worst of the bunch (other than the Crunchbase profile), as a Contributor post is not RS and its coverage isn't even in-depth to boot. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless better sources found. I removed two sources that were from Medium, and another that was a republished PRNewswire source. Sourcing is weak.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:25, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete weak sourcing (Forbes article is by a "contributor", not staff) Smallbones_(smalltalk) 21:37, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Delete, non RS sources /sites, promotional. Fails WP:NCORP even with the single ref. scope_creep (talk) 23:24, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
