Sobre a Empresa
Postabon is a funded startup based out of New York City. We were founded by two Harvard Business School graduates (and one Harvard CS dropout). Postabon wants to help people find and share the best discounts around them. For example, we can help you find the best sale on a sweater this weekend, which bar has the best happy hour tonight, and so on.
Postabon launched publicly on December 1st 2009, and has tens of thousands of unique visitors every month (and is growing quickly!). We already have about 100 deals per square mile in Manhattan, and will be pushing We've built a web application, native iPhone App, and mobile web application (targeting devices with mobile webkit based browsers such as the iPhone, and Android and Palm WebOS devices). In the future, we're going to be revamping all these front ends, and building dedicated Android, Blackberry, etc. apps.
The back end of Postabon is written in mostly Common Lisp, and is built on a fast key-value store (BerkeleyDB). We're doing all sorts of interesting machine learning on the back end, and are exploring several innovative ideas to help improve the UX.
