I had no idea Groupon played a role until I reach the middle part of the article. I too believe building a company should be a marathon and not a 100m sprint.

I had no idea Groupon played a role until I reach the middle part of the article. I too believe building a company should be a marathon and not a 100m sprint. Trying to sprint 100m puts tremendous pressure on self to succeed and could result in suicide. As Dave McClure said, it is a first world problem in those dark days no matter how dark it is. Founders should look to 9-to-5 and build a long-term company.
