With apologies for cynicism, how long will it be a viable pivot for struggling startups to move into the daily deals space?

I've seen it 5 times now, once at the behest of the VC, and it clearly can get you to revenue, I just don't know if it still leads to profits & scalability.



Hi Kevin, this isn't a pivot at all.

It's another product we can sell to our newspaper and local organization partners. We haven't met a newspaper yet that is happy with their daily deal provider. They asked us if we would make a solution and we did.


Cool, the name change made me think you were moving away from the old business model (as did the submission title).
