Hello, I am new to wikipedia and spend last week actively researching sources to make sure I am in sync with what Wikipedia requires for a new article. I wanted some help and input on what I have so far. THIS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE, it is a draft of the article but I want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. The article is on the investment banking firm Silver Steep Partners, it is notable and has many cited sources which in this format I have included as hyperlinks. Please send me your thoughts, input and advice. Also, should I include a detailed biography of the two founders? Thank you, the draft is posted below.
