Comment: It's a very similiar case as with most companies/organizations submissions, sources are relying on the various WP:ROUTINE press announcements of formation, team members or funding. Sifted appears to go more in-depth in the text, but that's it. Unsurprisingly, given they haven't even finished to work on their first project, making it WP:TOOSOON.
