Article extensively modified as a violation of the Terms of Use as undisclosed paid editing by a user now blocked by adminstrator MER-C. Although apparently copiously sourced, a closer look demonstrates this is pure WP:REFBOMBing. Fully 26 out of the 35 references are to various VC funding transactions. As as VC firm, VC funding is the only thing it does and thus any coverage of it is run of the mill and not significant. Most of these are also obvious press releases and therefore not independent. The remaining nine references are also problematic. Four are to announcements of a new office (not significant), three are to generic database listings or About Us pages, one is to another press release about a normal business transaction, leaving only one possibly-relevant source. This one, to the magazine for something called the HEUREKA conference, is to a site so poorly-configured that multiple layers of my internet security software refuse to allow me to connect to it. TL;DR version: paid-for article to a standard business generating no significant, independent coverage in reliable sources and therefore a violation of WP:COI and WP:NCORP and WP:GNG.
