Not all independently notable with none of the sources actually being convincing, note the Forbes is only an interview and everything else is simply localized PR; my own searches have found nothing better regarding substantially significant coverage (only either trivial news or sprinkle-jacketed PR.

 * Keep – The company meets WP:CORPDEPTH per a review of available sources. The company also passes WP:AUD because it has received national news coverage, and furthermore, such coverage is from sources based in other states (e.g. New York, North Carolina).

This has extensive content about the company, and is not limited to interview content. Definitely not "local", nor PR.)

 * Both the WORL and Business Journal are local news simply talking about their own local businesses and, as said before, Business Journal is notorious for this about simply consisting of interviews and businesspeople talking about their own local businesses. The first two simply mention them a select number of times and that's simply about charging and pricing. The Sentinel articles say exactly what the company is, a "promising" starting company. None of these are actually substantially convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  19:54, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The paywalled Orlando Business Journal article does not appear to be an interview. Local sources are not disqualified to apply toward WP:CORPDEPTH, particularly when other sources provide non-local coverage, contributing to passing WP:AUD. The age of a company is not congruent with topic notability per WP:NTEMP. See also: WP:NEWCOMPANY. North America1000 03:00, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Fast Company ref is an advertorial. The firm is not notable, at least not yet.  DGG ( talk ) 23:16, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
