In my opinion, at the point LivingSocial copied Groupon's business model, they weren't a startup anymore; before that they were a social app on Facebook.

- eli 11y agoYou're only a startup if you have an entirely original business model? I don't agree with that definition.
- MajorLOL 11y agoI think it means, at the point in TIME when they became a groupon copy they where already past the "startup" phase. Not that they stopped being a startup because they copied groupon Crazy to see the downvote mafia around here on this kind of thing.
- eli 11y agoHmm, you may be right. Definitely not how I read it at first. In any event, I think they were a startup at that point in time, but I can see how reasonable people might disagree.
