Non-notable small company. Fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG. The company is Irish and a WP:BEFORE search in several mainstream Irish news/media sources (like RTÉ, Irish Independent, TheJournal.ie, etc) returns nothing at all. I can find only one "opinion/comment/analysis" piece (effectively an interview with the founder) in The Irish Examiner in 2013. Which, in addition to failing WP:SIRS and WP:INTERVIEW/N, barely establishes that the company then had just 5 employees and some very moderate aspirations to gain a few dozen clients that year. One of the few/only pieces in The Irish Times is also quite short and simply deals with a funding round which valued the company at barely 1 million EUR. Again, hardly a massive indicator of notability/relevance. That the article was (clearly) created and expanded by SPA/COI profiles, with an overtly promotional intent, is also very difficult to overlook.... Guliolopez (talk) 12:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

- Weak delete - the two Irish Times articles are reliable, as a Newspaper of record, but don't quite make it to significant coverage. Ping me if you find more sources. Bearian (talk) 04:36, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: I can't identify any notability here. The company falls at five Wikipedia policy hurdles, identified in preceding comments. Spideog (talk) 21:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
