While a master’s student in Public Policy at the University of Chicago, Andrew Mason, Founder and CEO of Groupon, started a website to connect organizations with individuals to help stimulate collective action. This site served as the creative seed for Groupon, which offers subscribers daily deals on products and services. Since its launch in 2008, Groupon has grown to more than 7,000 employees serving its 81 million subscribers with more than 1,000 deals a day, leading some to call it “the fastest- growing company ever.” Groupon completed its IPO on Nov. 4.
