Funding: intricate detail

This section is not following summary style, providing intricate detail on various funding rounds, dates and venture firms, including some that are non notable. Moving this here in case someone would like to use the sources for anything else:

The company received $7.6 million in Series A funding in November 2013 (from Icon Ventures, Michael Lazerow, Blumberg Capital, Accelerator Ventures, Bullpen Capital and Triple Five Group) and $15 million in Series B funding in October 2014 (from InterWest Partners, Icon Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Triple Five Group and IDG Ventures).^[1]^[2] In May 2016, Appboy closed a $20 million Series C funding round, bringing the company's total funding to $42.5 million.^[3]

Information about the funding of the company is encyclopedic information. It is historical information about when the company received funding and from whom. Companies articles like Google at Google#Financing, 1998 and initial public offering, 2004 and Palantir at Palantir Technologies#2014–2016: Additional funding contain very detailed information about funding. There is no reason for Appboy not have a similar level of detail. Cunard (talk) 20:51, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable co-founders

Moving here for storage in case someone wants to use the source for something else:

That same year, Bill Magnuson and Jon Hyman joined the company as co-founders.^[1]

Both are non notable individuals and this is a non-meaningful intricate detail not of interest to the general reader. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:12, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not necessary for the co-founders of a company to be notable to warrant mention in an article. A company's co-founders are an important part of the company's history. I oppose removing them. Cunard (talk) 20:52, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
