Non notable start up, whose name was promotionally added as a link to many articles. The only question is the Forbes article--reading it, I conclude it's PR based, and was written due to the significance of the founders husband in his many other enterprises (he does not seem to be directly involved with this one). .

 * Comment Actually, Moschini's husband Alex Konanykhin was listed as the CEO when the company started up in 2012. But I think the preponderance of articles on the company, coming from Latin America, including the Forbes, is because that's where Moschini's PR base is. See below.

 * Delete. The coverage in KMGi Group is more than enough. I can find nothing to indicate the significance of this company after the initial flurry of PR-based articles as it was starting up in early 2012. It's quite noticeable that the WP article was started shortly after the company sought to market 8.5 million of its shares at $1.00 each (minimum investment $250,000) in May 2012  and after another arm of the KMGi Group, Publicty Guaranteed had done their work: "Our experienced writers prepare an effective promotional article for you. Once you have approved the article, our media relations team works to get your article published in newspapers and magazines by distributing your article via syndicated news services and by pitching reporters and editors.". Note that the Forbes article is limited to the Forbes Argentina edition, ditto the "award" from PC World's Latin America edition. The link to the "award" is broken. The Forbes Argentina article is clearly PR-based. Note that although it was published in August 2012, it was obviously written several months earlier when the company was just starting up: "“We are opening a round for institutional investment”, says Moschini. The objective is to get a $2 million investment in the coming months and to start the global deployment. Later, they will look for a new round to get $8 million and to reach business value at over $25 million so that their dream of a ubiquitous and flexible company may come true." - Voceditenore (talk) 17:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
