Comment: Given this organization was founded just last month, it's highly unlikely to have gained sufficient notability to warrant an encyclopedia article here. Please see WP:NORG. Also, you appear to have a direct conflict of interest. As a result, this article reads much like an advertisement piece. We are not a means of promotion. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
