TechStars mentor Bob Crimmins is rolling out a new startup with heavy accelerator roots: Dealometry, a daily-deals site for men. Dealometry’s technology comes from Deal Co-op, a TechStars Seattle grad that says its main motivation in relocating from Birmingham, AL to Seattle was the mentoring opportunity. Dealometry’s first offer is a discount at ManPacks, an online supplier of personal essentials (like socks and underwear) that graduated from Rhode Island-based accelerator BetaSpring. It’ll be interesting to see how the focus on men’s products works—I’ve seen some other deal-mongers targeting that market, but then again, there are just a lot of deal-mongers.
