Source analysis
Source	Analysis	Conclusion
#1	not significant ("Suster also founded LaunchPad LA", end coverage).	✗
#2	dead link, not on the wayback machine.	✗
#3	note that this is a blog hosted by the NYT, not the NYT proper. Not reliable.	✗
#4	blog on medium dot com. Not reliable.	✗
#5	forbes contributor, not reliable.	✗
#6	own website, not independent.	✗
#7	A real source! But a local one.	~
#8	the noticeboard doesn't have a clear consensus on pando as a source. Dubious.	~
#9	techcrunch "may be useful for satisfying verifiability, but may be less useful for the purpose of determining notability".	✗
#10	another forbes contributor.	✗
#11	not significant ("went on [...] to become a partner at a tech accelerator, Launchpad LA", end coverage).	✗
#12	not independent ("customer stories" section)	✗
#13	another real but local source.	~
#14	plausibly real, local.	~
#15	blog and not independent.	✗
#16	business insider syndicated content "should be evaluated by the reliability of its original publisher." this is syndicated from a medium blog. not reliable.	✗
#17	local and not significant ("I applied to LaunchpadLA").	✗
#18	business insider is dubiously reliable, and it's a passing mention anyway ("Incubated at the SoCal tech accelerator Launchpad LA")	✗
#19	Passing mention ("which was part of incubator Launchpad LA") in a dubiously reliable source.	✗
#20	Local source again, focused on the company they funded.	✗
#21	Not actually mentioned in this source.	✗
#22	passing mention ("came out of the accelerator program LaunchpadLA").	✗
#23	Not significant, reliable, or independent (podcast by someone whose company was funded)	✗

Overall: some local coverage. One source of uncertain reliability. Nothing else that contributes to notability. Doesn't qualify for WP:NCORP.— Moriwen (talk) 16:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
