• How do you build a Wikipedia page for a recently founded company?

  Show substantial independent coverage despite the company's age - sustained press attention, in-depth third-party profiles, and other secondary sources that treat the company directly.

• How do Wikipedia’s conflict of interest policies affect what we can actually edit ourselves?

  Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest rules (WP:COI and WP:PAID) do not prohibit interested-party editing; they set out how to do it.
