Groupon- Exploring the City
I never thought of myself as an entrepreneur before this, and I still really don’t. I just like to build things and do things.

We’re not interested in doing things that other people do really well.

Other reward programs don’t effectively cater to both consumers and businesses, and most are horribly ineffective … Consumers don’t want to carry several different cards.

Lets start having fun… lets get funky… let’s announce everything… let’s be wildlypositive in our forecasts… lets take this thing to the extreme… if we get wacked on the ride down-who gives a shit… the time to get radical is now… we have nothing to lose…
