Skyscanner 24H Hackathon
We're beyond the 'small startup' size now, but I thought this might be of interest to some of the Hacker News crowd.
Skyscanner is having a 24-hour Hackathon at the moment, which started at 12 noon GMT on Wednesday
The plan is to design, develop, launch and promote a free text Twitter search API, so that anyone can send a flight search tweet to @flyscan, and the results will be sent back to you as a reply.
The service is coming together here:

And there's some more information in the form of a blog and some overview videos below:

Glad to answer architecture/tech/other questions if anyone would like to know more!
