Cloning Groupon is the easy part, the hard part is executing.

Executing what? The word execution in the startup world refers to everything you do to build a startup, including cloning the competition. If you're talking about a specific type of startup, you need to identify what's hard beyond simply "execution" since that's a given.

I'm referring to executing the Groupon "business model" which is what this article is really about. It doesn't take much "execution" to clone and create a landing page for subscribers. But thank you for your insightful knowledge into the meaning of the word "execution" in the startup world.

Probably sales, getting people to buy the ads.
