This is going to seem a bit ironic, given the article's claims, but this does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:NWEB or other relevant SNGs. The included sources are a couple of TechCrunch articles and an archived primary blog post. Source search has not been productive, but that may be due to the name being ambiguous (searching for "golden.com" in quotes mostly yields results from the site itself, and a few unrelated hits)
That aside, this article reads more like a pitch for the site than an encyclopedic article. It was successfully PRODed before claiming lack of notability. ASUKITE 02:30, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Only non-self sources are Techcrunch, which WP:RSP mentions is questionable for establishing notability. It's also worth noting here that one of the Techcrunch sources mentions that a former editor at Techcrunch was heading Golden's research team, which would compromise the independence of Techcrunch sources. - MrOllie (talk) 21:49, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously PROD'd so not eligible for Soft Deletion.
