"Groupon was founded in 2007 as a project of The Point, Inc., a platform for organizing all forms of collective social action, one of which was the organization of special deals for groups. The Point is privately owned and backed by individual private investors, New Enterprise Associates, a venture capital firm that helped grow CareerBuilder, Vonage, and UUNET, as well as Accel Partners, a venture capital firm that invested in Facebook, Etsy, comScore and StumbleUpon."
Groupon makes money by taking a percentage of sale that they make from the coupons they advertise. The other part of sale goes to the company that offers the deal. The thing is, Groupon spends a lot of money on advertising, employees paychecks, computers, all that sort of stuff, and yet they still haven't made a profit.

Groupon offers one "Groupon" per day in each of the markets it serves. If a certain number of people sign up for the offer, then the deal becomes available to all. If the predetermined minimum is not met, no one gets the deal that day. This reduces risk for retailers. Groupon makes money by keeping approximately half the money the customer pays for the coupon. For example, if you purchase Groupon for $100 for a restaurant for $50 through Groupon.com, then the business gets $25 and Groupon keeps $25. You get to spend $100 at the restaurant using the Groupon that you paid $50 for, saving you $50 at that restaurant.
