Submission declined on 30 August 2023 by ARandomName123 (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Comment: History section needs some sources. There also doesn't seem to be significant coverage in the sources you added. They seem to discuss the people, not the actual firm. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 16:31, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
