Groupon

Groupon is an American global e-commerce marketplace connecting subscribers with local merchants by offering activities, travel, goods, and services in 15+ countries.

Groupon is a place where customers can discover new experiences every day and local businesses thrive. Strong partnerships with great local businesses are at the very heart of Groupon.

The idea for Groupon was created by former CEO and Pittsburgh native Andrew Mason. Mason thought that there must be some way to leverage a large number of people's collective bargaining power.

Based in Chicago, Groupon was launched there in November 2008.

The name for the E-Commerce platform, Groupon is a portmanteau of "group" and "coupon".

The company went public on November 4, 2011, under the ticker symbol GRPN.
