Comment: No new sources have been added since previous submission, so the topic still doesn't meet WP:NCORP. 🍅 fx (talk) 14:19, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: AI can't be used, see WP:NEWLLM. The main sources are about funding, which is regarded as WP:CORPTRIV, and databases from Bloomberg aren't good for notability either. The whole reception section is a great example of WP:AIATTR. Very, very few companies of this profile will meet the notability definitions used by Wikipedia.
