About

Qualifies for the Linode hosting and Dun & Broadstreet API challenges. Both the app server and mongodb is hosted on linode for midasapp.me and the dun and bradstreet api is used to fetch the number of employees and funding raised for companies which is used to calculate the overall score for a company.

I can see this becoming a really interesting and predictive marketplace for startups. Would have liked to have seen more of clear betting/monetization strategy but I can easily visualize a path to that.

I feel you need to focus more on the education before you will get people on board - perhaps you can API twitter feed based on what they should be looking for

I like the idea of gamifying the startup news cycle.

Raise your hands if you follow? Mobil app that gameifies start up launching and tracking. Compete against friends - for start up knowledge. What is the problem exactly? Nice transition - how does this work? SO are you betting on which start up does best? HOw does this account for bad news? Non accredited information for potential investors? How are you going to make money?
