Comment: I don't think any amount of references will make this notable; the standard at WP:CORPDEPTH is fairly difficult to meet for new "internet" companies. Also, the article as it currently stands focuses mainly on a summary of press-release events (fundings, acquisitions) and says almost nothing about what the business does. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:58, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
