advertisement, and probably not notable. the large $ figures cited are not the size of its own investments, but the size of total investments by much larger investment companies in firms in which this rather insignificant company has invested quite small amounts.

The commentary by its partners is the usual PR and notices, not third party sources. The references otherwise are mere notices. DGG ( talk ) 19:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC) � DGG ( talk ) 19:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As per the previous AfD at which it was deleted: 'Run-of-the-mill venture capital company. Notability isn't inherited and therefore the companies they invested in do not confer notability on the investment firm. Wikipedia is not a directory or yellow pages. None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP'. This current article, though not blatant advertising, was tagged as promotional on creation but the author has done nothing to address the issues. The prose is clearly in the style in which a company would write about itself such as, for example, in a press release, and has the hallmarks of a commissioned work .
