Ahh, I see. I'm curious if they're using any learning algorithms here, where the computer 'learns' how to re-touch the photos. Or if its a more simple list of rules, i.e make these colors darker / brighter.

#133http://hubify.com Hubify let's you create and manage safe community commerce hubs and list anything for sale, for rent, for hire, and post part-time jobs. Solo-founder with a pre-launch project that was not invited to interview. Not surprised, but I don't regret applying. 200 days to progress and make a much better case for the next batch. #rejected #craigslistkiller

Have you heard of mytag? Many start-ups are one form of craigslist or another with some flaws fixed. How is hubify different?
Hubify is different because you can rent anything and also list services for hire and jobs.
The ability to create and manage public or private hubs is unique and better suited to serve different types of local communities, college campuses, etc.
We have Pinterest-style personal storefronts, user ratings/reviews, and will soon offer criminal background checks to improve safety.
If you know of any other #craigslistkiller competitors, I'd love the tips. It's a real "obvious" problem, so of course there will be other startups trying to solve it in their own way.
Thanks for the feedback!

The learning happens on the level of seeing what would a human retoucher does by using the data we gathered from the editor: https://www.polarr.co/editor

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."
Thanks so much! I know the MarketPsych founder Richard. Great guy, super forward thinking and definitely someone we respect. He sells exclusively through TR now I believe. Under the hood we are very different cos in terms of our data and what we aim to do with it. Time will tell ;-)
I'd like to see you succeed, one way or another.

#138Sproute: a platform for crowd-sourcing travel recommendations. First core functionality allows users to create trips and share them with friends to get input on their itinerary. So I'd send you a link like this http://sprouteit.herokuapp.com/trips/545035162f65db0800bd28a... and you can tell me where I should go. No interview, but would love to hear any feedback.
