How Kris Peterson Created A Successful Daily Deals Company From His Kitchen Counter

Kris Peterson was simultaneously training for the Chicago marathon and buying tons of Groupons. He couldn’t use all the Groupons he was buying and ended up losing the money he spent on them. He thought there had to be a secondary market to sell his unused deals. But there wasn’t. So Kris created one. Every night after his full time job, he sat at the kitchen counter and coded away at his idea. The fruit of Kris’ labor is DealsGoRound.com, a site where people can sell their unused daily deals from sites like Groupon, LivingSocial, YouSwoop, and many more. How did Kris successfully launch a secondary market for daily deals from his kitchen counter? Watch my video interview with Kris Peterson to find out! This interview is a part of Beyond The Pedway, a site created by Tim Jahn dedicated to discovering what drives creative entrepreneurs.
