Despite the large number of references, as far as I can tell none of them meet the WP:NCORP criteria for counting toward notability. Most of them are primary. Most of the ones that aren't aren't in-depth or independent. For example, Ref 4 is not independent because it's based almost entirely with an interview from one of the company's investors. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:32, 20 August 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep it's a publicly listed company, appearing on NASDAQ although recently re-privatised. Almost 2k employees, 25 countries.  That said, respect to the stance of User:Pppery and the analysis there.   Chumpih  t 20:31, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete A quick before shows that they generate lots of press releases and routine coverage, but nobody seems to have written an in-depth article about them (much less the 3 generally preferred to establish notability) Rockphed (talk) 12:04, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - Agree with the nom, no significant secondary and independent sources, and being listed on the NASDAQ is not enough for notability. PopoDameron (talk) 01:26, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
