Launched in November 2008, Groupon features a daily deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in 48 countries around the world. Groupon works with selected business partners to create a win-win proposition for businesses and consumers, delivering more than 1,000 daily deals globally. Roughly 11,000 people make up the current Groupon team, with a global headquarters in Chicago, IL. We have additional technology centers in Palo Alto, CA and Seattle, WA, an international headquarters in Schaffhausen, Switzerland and more quarters across the world.
Using the principles of collective buying, Groupon negotiates unprecedented discounts with popular businesses. Groupon subscribers access our deals through email subscriptions or desktop and mobile experiences. The deals are activated only when a minimum number of people agree to buy, encouraging subscribers to share the promotion with family and friends. By guaranteeing a large number of new customers, Groupon has created a powerful new marketing vehicle for local merchants.
