I wouldn't consider this a startup.. but my co-founder and I built a model-based algorithm that uses maritime trade activity to predict inconsistencies in shipping company performance, and we use that information to buy/sell options in those companies. We make some money off of it, and we've sold a few "subscriptions" to our close friends and stuff to kinda help them out financially. It's nowhere near finished but it makes close to 500 a month including our gains (we don't have much money lol).

btw I had to make a new account for some reason so this is technically my first post but i've been using HN for a while now.
