I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Galinabesedina (WP:SPA) with no rationale; subsequently most of their additions were deleted as copyvio. This is an ad for a company that fails notability; sources are mentions-in-passing, and primary sources such as press releases or business as usual press-release reprints reporting 'acquired X, hired Z'. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as corporate spam, with content such as "...with products including a machine learning platform,[1][2] a content aggregation platform,[3][4][5] a connected car analytics solution[6] and a map data crowdsourcing toolset[7]" (talk about ref spam). Tech startups are rarely notable and this one does not meet the mark, per available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:58, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete notability is a stretch, and even if one admits notability, the article itself is blatant promotion. Clearly anything calling itself a "solution" that is not a solution is a product of marketing. W Nowicki (talk) 23:11, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
