Seems to be a run-of-the-mill startup with no real notability. Slashme (talk) 09:50, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Investors have raised over $1.5 million dollars for this venture (which seems like an impressive fundraising effort) and their podcasts have been popular.--The lorax (talk) 17:04, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it might be the next big thing, but it isn't yet. One of their two shows is, er, about themselves. No real indication of notability. (I notice each show has a stub page, as well, which seems excessive). Pinkbeast (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Alex Blumberg is notable, this business is not. both the New York times and the Wall Street Journal stories focus more so on the person than the company. I suggest merging this content into the page on Alex. If the company is huge and out grows its home at Alex Blumberg's article we can spin it out then.

- Agreed - I might just Be Bold and do the merge soon. --Slashme (talk) 08:22, 28 April 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]
  - I have done the merge, updated the text a bit, and added a reference to the second season. I've also redirected StartUp (podcast) to Alex Blumberg. --Slashme (talk) 21:25, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
