I would love that. I've been working on my startup for over two years, and my "Show HN" post last week didn't get a single upvote. I was really disappointed. I think the Show HN section would provide more visibility.
Don't take this the wrong way but I think I understand why :).
Don't get me wrong I am sure you spend a lot of work on your startup but the question I would ask myself is. Did you do a good job with how you market it. In other words did you actually create a product for me to buy?
Your claim:
"Easy predictive modeling in minutes
Answer the questions that matter most to your business:"
is kind of vague and your examples
"What will
sell best?"
"How much
will it pay?"
Etc. simply sounds too good to be true.
Furthermore your visual style works against your claim. Using old b&w pictures confuses however visits the site.
You then follow up with an excel like sheet which means nothing.
So in other words people have no idea what you are actually doing. I don't get a sense of what this product is. Only vague generic claims.
So I would probably spend some more time on making the site more about how your product is solving predictive analysis (whats your claim to fame compared to others using those terms) and re-design the visual side of things (I rarely say this but in your situation it really do need to look quite different)
Thanks for taking the time to give me some feedback. I'll redo the landing page to make my value proposition much clearer. And I'll get rid of my retro pictures, even though I do kind of like them.
In regards to the OP, that's just the kind of feedback I was hoping to get from my Show HN post. I think I only had 3-4 arrivals from that page before it dropped of the "New" page into oblivion. Maybe I was just unlucky.
Maybe your timing was a bit unlucky but from what I observed over time it's better to submit a direct link and then add the description as a comment. Don't make people search for the link in the description and copy paste that into their browser url bar (Even if you commented with the direct links).
