Comment: Phrases like this "The company was founded... with a vision... the success of the platform led to its expansion internationally.", with no citation, seem to just promote the company without providing any real information. This makes it read like an advert. You need citations to sources that are neutral and independent of the company along with language that isn't promotional in tone.
