Contested Prod and Prod2. Non-notable software. Sources consist of a press release, two funding announcements (i.e., press releases of another sort) - both from the same site, and a self-published reference. External links are to company's website and blog. GNews has 7 hits (3 press releases, 3 blogs); GScholar has 1 relevant hit, consisting of an ad link apparently.

 * Delete, no independent sources to support notability per WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. TechCrunch is a reliable third party. I would go so far as to say that they are the best source for startup press. No non-notable startups are mentioned there. --CygnusPius (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment There might be a point of view/conflict of interest with regards to User:Akleha's recent edits to the Zendesk article. Google search for Akleha -> Amanda Kleha -> The Small Business Web showing Amanda Kleha's position in Zendesk The mad michael (talk) 12:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment As I read http://techcrunch.com/about-techcrunch/, Techcrunch does not appear to be a reliable source, being blog-based and largely editable. I could be wrong... Peridon (talk) 14:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The two articles in question were written by Eric Schonfeld and Robin Wauters. --CygnusPius (talk) 09:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I fail to see how this meets WP:CORP. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Funding announcements, even if reproduced by reliable sources, do no raise to the level of non-trivial converge in my view. I expect something like product reviews for a meaningful Wikipedia article. Pcap ping  23:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
