 * Delete for failing WP:CORPDEPTH and coverage being paid sourcing and a limited audience. I checked out several of the sources which appear to be niche services to financial industries:
 * - TechCrunch is a promotional site with a membership fee. "...We help founder and startup teams get ahead..."
 * - PaymentsJournal is an industry website that solicits 700-1000 word articles.
 * - VentureBeat is also a membership site that invites readers to contact reports and hosts guest posts and sponsored posts.
 * - IBS intelligence is also a client-service site providing "business strategies for financial services clients worldwide.
 * Two non-specialized sources are the Seattle Times which gives it passing mention and a Forbes piece written by a "contributor". Forbes contributors, as opposed to Forbes staff writers, is considered Generally Unreliable sourcing as it lacks fact checking and editorial oversight. These contributor pieces are often self-published. (See WP:FORBESCON.) Blue Riband► 17:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * According to WP:RS/P, VentureBeat is "generally reliable for articles relating to businesses, technology and video games", meaning that it could be used within the article. dksn123 (talk) 15:32, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * VentureBeat and TechCrunch most certainly can be considered reliable for notability. They are harder though because you have to read through and make sure it is not marked as a sponsored article or just a reprint of a press release. The TechCrunch article in the current page is NOT reliable as it is an interview and would fail WP:ORGCRIT.--CNMall41 (talk) 05:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, RL0919 (talk) 12:54, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Plenty of in-depth coverage that meets WP:ORGCRIT including this from Forbes (written by staff writer), this from WSJ (looks like a routine announcement based on the headline but contains in-depth information about the company), and this from CNET (also written by staff writer). --CNMall41 (talk) 05:08, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete per WP:SERIESA. Coverage is "company raises money" and "company launches product", and it's just not notable.  FalconK (talk) 02:49, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete coverage is routine. Fails WP:CORP. LibStar (talk) 23:18, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and above editors.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
