This business was riding on the wave of Groupon like deal sites.
The start-up was not so much about running a profitable business but about capturing the funding possibilities that came up due to the popularity and profitability of Groupon and its numerous clones.

Its the same reasons Dropbox clones got millions of dollars in funding, even though their product is a straight copy (and crummier).
