Draft:Red Tricycle

Submission declined on 2 June 2024 by Liance (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Red Tricycle is an online media company founded in 2006 in Seattle, Washington by Jacqui Boland. The business originally consisted of an email newsletter that provided readers with information about events, products and services for new parents in their city. The emails first focused on Seattle but eventually grew to include dozens of US cities. The company has been described by the Seattle PI as "near the forefront of the next generation of parenting tools".^[1]

In 2012, Red Tricycle raised a $1.5 million round led by Maveron with participation from 500 Startups, Richmond Park Partners, Zulily, Paul Bucheit, Bob Pittman, and Jason Calacanis.^[2]

In February 2020, Tinybeans purchased the company for $11 million AUD, with $9.35M cash plus stock (TNY ASX).^[3]
