FieldLens

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An avertorially toned page on an unremarkable private company; significant RS coverage not found. What comes up is PR-driven or based on WP:SPIP sources. Has raised $8M which strongly suggests it's WP:TOOSOON for an encyclopedia entry. The company has been acquired by WeWork in June of this year, but the FieldLens is not mentioned in the parent company's article (for lack of significance, probably), so it's not a suitable redirect target.

Delete: An article on a company, describing and referenced by its start-up funding round coverage. At the point of acquisition, the company had around 25 employees and "thousands of customers in the building trade" [1]. The product sales base suggests potential in looking further, but my searches are finding announcements during its launch period in 2014-15 and some post-takeover discussion but not the substantial coverage needed to demonstrate encyclopaedic notability.
