There do not seem to be any reliable non-local third party sources. The one article in Huffington Post, is by a "contributor", not their staff, the company exec wrote the one in Forbes, and the others are non substantial or local from the startups city.

Comment @DGG: What about mashable, would you consider that a reliable source? --Cerebellum (talk) 12:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have to go by the reputation of the author. Looking at their articles, I see a large number of chatty articles mostly on trivial new websites. Many of them , but not this one, have the caption "Editor's Note: This post is part of an ongoing series at Mashable - The Startup Review, Sponsored by Sun Microsystems Startup Essentials. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here." Of the ones dealing with new web sites but without that capition, asample showed 3 out of 10 with articles on WP. It would seem that the purpose of the contributors column is PR.

Delete per DGG's response above, the mashable article was the only non-local source that seemed reliable to me. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:32, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
