Article about a company not properly sourced as passing WP:CORPDEPTH. As always, every company is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists, but rather has to have reliable source coverage and analysis to establish its significance -- but there are just four footnotes here, of which two are the company's own self-published content about itself, and one more comes from a marketing blog and reads suspiciously more like another press release self-published by the company than like a genuine piece of journalism. And while one footnote did come from real media, it's a dead link, and even if it proves recoverable from another URL, one valid source still isn't enough to vault a company over CORPDEPTH all by itself if it's the only valid source the company has.
Since this company was apparently founded in 2001 and thus might have had coverage 15 or 20 years ago that wouldn't still be found on Google, I'm obviously willing to withdraw this if somebody with much better access to archived USian media coverage than I've got can find enough to salvage it, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to be better than it is.
