A previous instance was deleted in November 2018; the present article was drafted by a declared connected contributor and moved into mainspace on their 11th edit. I can't compare the previous article instance but the previous AfD discussion also noted funding text references, which are trivial coverage at WP:CORPDEPTH. Aside from the funding coverage, the article lists industry awards and inclusion in analyst vendor reports. These last may be a closer call in terms of WP:NCORP, though a reporting analyst would be expected to cover the vendors in the particular area and I don't think inclusion automatically implies notability here. Searches also find a book paragraph about the tool. Overall, this is clearly a company going about its business. I'm bringing it to AfD to see whether the November 2018 AfD decision should be overturned; my own view is that there is not enough to establish notability. AllyD (talk) 17:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 *  Weak keep - Although most of the sources used in the article are just fundraising news, there are some other independent coverage available online such as TechCrunch, Clickz, People and Computers, Diginomica. - Ivan hersee (talk) 11:51, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability. Editor above points to three references in particular but they also fail. This TechCrunch reference is based on company PR such as this blog post and this company announcement dated the same day, fails WP:ORGIND. Clickz, This from ClickZ is based on a company announcement and even says it in the second sentence, also fails ORGIND. This from People and Computers is based on a company announcement from one of their partners and says so in the first sentence, fails ORGIND. Finally, this from Diginomica is a writeup of the latest platform update but all of the information is provided by the company and peppered with quotations from an executive, also fails WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. The only "Independent Content" is the "My take" section is 4 sentences and says nothing about the company. Topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 20:51, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
