Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deep Knowledge Ventures (2nd nomination)
I https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deep_Knowledge_Ventures&diff=952658499&oldid=952456620 rewrote the article. Here is the lead: '''Deep Knowledge Ventures''' is a venture capital firm based in Hong Kong. It funds companies that make treatments for aging-associated diseases and regenerative medicine.The company received international attention for its appointment of the computer algorithm VITAL (which stands for Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences) to its board of directors in 2014. VITAL was called the "world's first artificial intelligence company director".1 VITAL's appointment raised controversy with critics calling it a stunt and saying that as VITAL was a natural person, it could not be a board member under Hong Kong's corporate governance laws.Deep Knowledge Group published a series of studies in 2020 on how well countries were handling the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic to measure which countries would be good places to make investment decisions in in the future. The studies, which ranked Israel as both the safest country and the country where people felt the most safe, were touted by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Scientists and journalists criticised the studies' reliability, and ''The Times of Israel'' said "the people behind it also have strikingly unusual career histories".2 ''Der Spiegel'' found a coronavirus pandemic study from the company useful for businesses in providing the information about "where they can invest most safely and where they may also take long-term risks".3The article is no longer a violation of .Regarding "nor can I find any sources that can verify if it is a real firm (eg. address, phone number)": it is a real firm because reliable sources say it is a real firm. That there is no address or phone number on its website has no bearing on the firm's notability or existence. does not apply because the company has been discussed in multiple books and journals over a period of multiple years.The WikiProject pages Wikipedia:WikiProject Private Equity and Wikipedia:WikiProject Finance & Investment/PrivateEquity/SamplePEfirm are not policies or guidelines.

During my rewrite of the article I found two more sources that provide significant coverage about the company and its studies:{{cite news |last=Siouti |first=Vassiliki |date=2020-04-18 |title=Spiegel's coronavirus research, a Russian longevity expert and Spock.
