Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support. "References" either are passing mentions or do not mention the article subject. Fails WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 16:52, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly notable. Quick search for sources yields a few more.

> That summer he crashed a conference given by 500 Startups, a popular program for entrepreneurs. At lunch, he found himself sitting next to Matt Mochary, a 46-year-old who started a technology-services company in the 1990s and was now involved in the early-stage funding known as “angel” investing.

> When Backus and Meier needed somebody to guarantee the lease on their new apartment, Mochary stepped in. BlockScore invited Barber and Mochary to invest. They also tapped another venture capitalist with close ties to Backus - his father, a partner at New Atlantic Ventures and a Stanford alumnus. The elder Backus says he has mixed feelings about his son’s ditching school for a startup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WildZimBoost (talk • contribs) 06:26, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete: "Favela Rising" is indeed notable. It went beyond THINK/Film and got picked up by Independent Lens among others, I believe. However, those are all elements of the film, not the person, which is what the article is about. Is this person and biography notable? Is the person, as a person, talked about by reliable, independent sources? There will be bubbles from actions taken, but discussions of the person, rather than the action, seem pretty thin. So, I have to lean to delete. Hithladaeus (talk) 14:17, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
