Company Summary

We build Groupon 2.0 with a strong travel tech twist - we kept what worked (amazing deals) and upgraded what needed to be upgraded (lower fees, instant control on the campaign, no pre-purchase needed for our users). As a user, it's simple: you get cashback in local currency or Bitcoin to discover new places to eat/sleep/shop. Why Bitcoin ? Because as a traveler, you can bring this value back home, and as a company, we can scale much more quickly.
