As of July 17th, 2011; Zappedy has been acquired by Groupon. Zappedy was co-founded by Na’ama Moran, Francisco Larrain, Daniel Pérez Rada and Ricardo Zilleruelo-Ramos.
The mission statement of the stealth company was:
“Zappedy builds a website and helps develop and promote offers that give customers discounts if they persuade a group of friends to buy at the same time. Instant exposure for local businesses”
* This is the second time that Groupon acquires a chilean company (the first was Clandescuento on 2010)
