| {{AFC comment|1=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.
