It's remarkable little fact-checking / editing goes on at TC these days: the name of the startup (Dealupa) is misspelled in the title of the article

I used to use Dealupa all the time (and under its previous name Thedealmix), but now they've started to require an e-mail address to even look at what's available. No thanks.

You know what: Fuck all these apps that are simply telling me the most interesting thing to spend my money on which is horrid consumerism.

You know what I NEED:

An app that does this but for investment: I set a budget per month; it tells me the best thing to invest it in - and takes a small % of the return.

Open up how to MAKE money, not spend it.

In all of Groupon's life i have bought exactly ONE deal from that. I make well over 100K and have no interest in wasting my money on "deals"

Making recommendations for investing is legally complicated, unfortunately.

I know what you mean re deals. I've never bought one myself.

How about a daily smarter rather than a dail spender?

Pull together lists of webinars, articles, online courses etc? Have a SmartRank (patent not pending) to prompt them in a similar way based on interests. This could teach you how to invest also, not just giving hot tips.

It's not that easy to figure out the best thing to invest in. And if you do figure it out and you convince everybody, the price goes up so it's not the best thing anymore.

Exactly.

Hopefully they open shop in the US soon. I've been waiting.

Seems pretty similar to Betterment or a host of other providers (Personal Capital, etc). All these guys rely on the same thing: low-cost, large ETFs and the use of modern portfolio theory (MPT) to put together a balanced portfolio. The problem with all of them is the same - following MPT in 2007-2008 would have gotten you killed. All that being said, getting people to save and invest in general is a very good thing - so maybe there's the true value of the idea.

Dealuppers: if you guys are reading this, please don't sign me up for DC deals when my zipcode indicates I'm hundreds of miles away in NC.

My take on the similar subject: http://bizspeaking.com/

FYI aside from requiring an email address to signup it appears to be US only (based on zip code requirement).

No dice.

As an avid Groupon buyer (what, I like to save lots of money) I love this site!

Great work. Looking forward to making more use of this soon!

Such a well-designed site.
