Lack of WP:CORPDEPTH for this fairly small (raised 10 million USD last round, 15-249 employees in 2017 per award) Fintech award. BEFORE doesn't bring much that isn't the article. Many of the sources in the article are passing mentions. Some are not RS. The book "Architects of Electronic Trading" is an interview with the company founder (on FPGAs/GPUs in financial applications). Icewhiz (talk) 13:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

 * (2) GPU-based computing: Hanweck was the first mover in introducing GPU-based computing to the financial services industry, as stated in the article.

 * (4) Options Market Influence: Hanweck’s customers include the majority of the largest US banks, asset managers and hedge funds with over $100 billion in assets under management, as well as proprietary trading firms active in the derivatives markets.

 * The four references provided are press releases, events, and a case study by a customer. There is no coverage in bloomberg in the article, what there is is a company profile (that exists for just about every private company in the US) . The WSJ piece - mentions Hanweck twice in the context of quoting data provided from them. BBC coverage is local news about opening a branch office - . Both Forbes articles are by contributors, not by staff, and one is a rehash of the data in the WSJ article (just quoting the data on the options market in one paragraph). Coverage in American Banker is six lines about a financing round.Icewhiz (talk) 13:46, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
