I am not convinced of notability. All the refs are by a single author. DGG ( talk ) 07:55, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to Lean startup, and that article should be examined as it was created by SPA editor ("Leanguy") whose username implies a promotional/COI nature to the subject. This article's creator's name is "Arrakech"; add an "M" to the front of that, for "marrakech", and a search + lean in Google reveals more potential SPA/COI issues. On to the article itself: sentences like (to pluck one at random) "Product crowdfunding has been a tremendous support to hardware innovation by providing financial support to creators at a very early stage in the process..." scream boilerplate cut-n-pasted out of an advertizing brochure.

Delete. COI issues aside, this article contains little not covered by Lean startup. Piboy51 (talk) 16:40, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Some press releases and 2nd hand directories, not really popular yet. SamuelDay1 (talk) 09:47, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Insufficient references from reliable sources to support notability. Lots of references from tech crunch, but only one additional source that doesn't cover the subject with depth. ^BE _CK ^Y _SA ^{Y L}E _S 02:13, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
