Keep, expand — this company and the article first came to my attention when it acquired the notable legal review firm, Chambers and Partners; as such, coupled by the notable founders, I'd say it's worth expanding. Deleting it would also de-centralize compiled information (its assorted holdings). It's on my tall pile, to expand, (though I'd hoped that someone else might do so before I get to it).

On second thought, I agree with the above. Perhaps combining with an existing relevant article would also be an option. However, I’d this doesn’t happen soon, delete. ~ Chip 🐺 05:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per my prod: " No evidence of passing WP:GNG/WP:NCOMPANY." Not seeing what makes this not a spam (WP:NOTYELLOWPAGES, etc.). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 22:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: an unremarkable venture fund going about its business. Fails WP:NORG & WP:PROMO. --K.e.coffman (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete: I've been trying to find more substance for this entry, but the most prominent and substantial press is about its wind-down in 2012, and the articles I'm seeing were heavily contributed to by the founders. I find the topic remarkable as it's more of a network of partnerships than an individual fund, but I don't think we have enough independent press to establish notability now, and with the wind-down no press will be forthcoming. Pegnawl (talk) 16:33, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability is not inherited and while some of the founders have articles (and I'm not sure they both meet notability guidelines) and some of the peripherally connected organizations are notable, I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on *this* company and containing independent content. Topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:38, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:NCORP and reads like a press release, so WP:PROMO, as well. Not notable for stand alone article. Kierzek (talk) 14:52, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
