https://marketvulture.com - Monitors dramatic events around the world and spots the opportunities that lie beneath. Using machine learning, we track global happenings, business downturns, logistic delays, breaking news, disasters, market conditions, macroeconomics and more to find interesting and profitable ways to leverage current events.

We've been open to the public for about 5 months; php7/python/redis/mariadb/workers/queues, NLP, tons of machine learning, etc. Cleaning and normalizing hundreds of feeds from different sources and formats is definitely a pain for us, as well as all the machine learning fun (training, feature selection and normalization, etc.)
