I feel very lucky to be alive at a time when someone like me can have a simple idea like Groupon that ends up impacting millions of people. If there's a silver lining to leaving Groupon, it's the opportunity to start something new. I've accumulated a backlog of ideas over the last several years, my favorite of which I'll be turning into a new company this fall.
As part of this, my wife and I are moving to San Francisco later this summer. We both love Chicago and while this next chapter in our lives is taking us elsewhere, we're not planning to sell our current home and expect to visit often. Chicago is developing quickly as a technology hub, and I hope to continue to find ways to support the amazing community of entrepreneurs here.
