This article is an advertisement for a company, masquerading as information. The company is not notable and its nature is very nebulous, perhaps venture capital but there is really no way to tell.

 * Speedy delete fails notability google results. Mostly self-owned websites or self promotion, no third party content.  Javier  MC  22:35, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete absolutely fails notabilty, no 3rd party references, no substantiating facts, notability is not a relative concept, see wp:n, agree with JavierMC - DustyRain (talk) 07:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Notability is a relative concept, but that notwithstanding, the article that has been marked for deletion seems to describe the organization in a fairly matter-of-fact way. If it were an advertisement, it seems to me that they would have gone further to make the organization sound like some sort of gift from providence.
