YC W15 invites will be sent out today • Hacker News Board

Very cool! I've been interested in this area for quite some time. Here's one guy to built a hedge fund around the quantification of investor sentiment using online data (http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-02/money-minded-h...)

"MarketPsych ran an audited hedge fund (MarketPsy Long-Short Fund LP) from 2008 through 2010, which beat the S&P benchmark by 25% during its lifetime."

Autosend - http://autosend.io Behavior-driven lifecycle messaging for SaaS companies. Basically, automatically send personalized SMS, email, or push notifications to users based on what they do in your app. I'm not sure yet if we've been invited or not but either way we're still full steam ahead!

Here's something that we have been working upon: http://horntell.com.

Looks like there's some overlap over there!

I wonder all those startups have 90% the same website. Are you guys using WP themes you customize? Or does anyone try to style home page very well? I am curious why all those startups even without 2 cofounders being technical always look so smooth and styled properly. I didn't see ugly wp home page in a while..

To give a decent look for the outside look, we usually buy some HTML template and customize it our way, and keep focussing on the real product that lies behind the curtain.

Of course, with time the homepage evolves and changes accordingly.

Looks cool. I'll try it out

Thanks! I'd appreciate any brutal and honest feedback :)

I keep seeing that template where the header stays fixed and the page animates as you scroll. What's it called? Is it part of foundation?
