This company is about Andrew Mason. From a former employee quoted on TC - "For all the shit he takes, you should especially worry if Andrew isn’t running Groupon." I loved this. Mason in the press gets an undercurrent of "not from the valley" or "former music major from northwestern" or "eccentric". As a result the tilt of stories about Groupon suggest that it was built on "won the lottery" luck, not "when preparation meets opportunity" luck. The guy built the fastest-to-a-billion in REVENUE ever online. I get the inherent problems @ Groupon, but can't help remembering when Steve Jobs was dismissed as a has-been that was lucky to ride on the coattails of Woz, and thrown to the wolves by the board.
