Hacker News is run by YCombinator (you notice there are no ads in general - i.e. no obvious monetization?). YC companies get to run job listings. The fact that are 2 near the top is probably due to yesterday's Demo Day.

Neither of the startups were announced at the S14 demo day, though. (PollEverywhere is S06, BoostedBoards is S12)
