While the article appears well referenced at a glance, I am afraid there is next to no evidence of it passing WP:GNG/WP:NCOMPANY. All sources are either mentions in passing, or rewritten press releases (Businesswire...) about routine operations. Please note that even WSJ or NYT tend to reprint such press releases, for example [https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/vectopr-takes-aladdin-in-160-million-deal/] links a press release near the bottom. If we remove press release and worse (PRIMARY/in-passing) there would be ZERO sources here. This is just a run-of-the-mill promotional WP:YELLOWPAGES entry. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Delete - run of the mill venture capital firm, which are not automatically notable, even if they have famous clients or investments. Throwing around cash does not make one notable. Bearian (talk) 14:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
