Delete Run-of-the-mill venture capital company. Notability isn't inherited and therefore the companies they invested in do not confer notability on the investment firm. Wikipedia is not a directory or yellow pages. None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 16:17, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete appears to just be an advertisement. I went through the list of references and among the ones that aren't dead (which is several), I found exactly one mention of the Highbar name, and it was just that, a mention. No in-depth coverage anywhere. Almost all of the references don't even mention the company so any editor would be well within their rights to delete most of the page. Article deletion seems to be the best option. Amsgearing (talk) 16:24, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
