  • Comment: Thank you for abiding by our conflict of interest guidelines. Your article tone appears to be neutral and largely appropiate. However, the notability guideline for companies requires sustained coverage from multiple reliable sources. The four sources you cite currently only mention a single event (i.e. the raising of startup funds) and hence cannot be considered sustained coverage. If you are able to find more sources covering more aspects of the company (which are not paid, or interviews) over a longer time period, then you may better establish notability.

Atmosfy is a private company headquartered in San Francisco, California.[1] It develops a mobile app by the same name where users post and browse short videos from local restaurants, bars, and other local businesses.[1][2] The app serves about 10,000 cities in 150 countries. As of 2023, it had videos for more than 1 million local businesses.[3][4]

Atmosfy was founded in 2021 by current CEO Michael Ebel, who previously served as global project manager for at Instagram.[2][3] In August 2023, Atmosfy raised $12 million in seed funding.[2]

TechCrunch described the Atmosfy app as "Yelp meets TikTok."[2] Users upload videos and information about the bar, restaurant, or other business they were at. They can also add tags and other details.[2] Then, users see a real-time feed of videos from businesses near them.[3] Each city has its own video feed.[3] Users can also search for videos using hashtags, location, price, type of restaurant, or other filters.[2]

Nation's Restaurant News described it as a more positive alternative to Yelp, because users generally post positive videos, rather than bad experiences or complaints.[4]
