Ask HN: Who are some unknown but growing startups with a lot of potential?
Who are some startups that haven't been on Techcrunch or maybe haven't even launched yet?
Skmmr is a web app that focuses on small, intimate group content sharing. Create a circle of people around an interest or hobby, limited to 8 people, drag our bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar and when you find something you really want to share in that topic area with your close friends, drop it into that circle. We send a digest out every evening with the newest links shared in the last day.
Skmmr is run by 2 seniors at the University of Colorado and we're excited to release our beta on Sunday!
Our beta users are in love with it and we're getting excellent word-of-mouth signups. We've integrated 30 self-tracking web and mobile based tools. I'm a self-tracking geek :)
We're working on some innovative, open-source "social knowledge management" tools that combine social networks, social-network-analysis, machine-learning, semantic web tech, and search in some interesting ways, o help people find the information and knowledge they need to do their jobs. We're out to help firms increase productivity, innovate faster and decrease cycle times / become more adaptive.
We are relatively unknown, but growing, and profitable. According to our rose-colored glasses, we have a lot of potential.
