Strangely enough, Groupon was originally a startup named The Point trying to save democracy: http://www.thepoint.com/ . Andrew Mason, Groupon's CEO, was pretty psyched about a campaign to build a giant dome over the city of Chicago: http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/chicago-winter-dome .

Groupon and Votizen have both pivoted quite strongly from how they started out.

It is pretty funny. Our product and business is very different though.
