SAT寫作經(jīng)典例子：Groupon創(chuàng)始人
Andrew Mason
Andrew Mason is the founder and CEO of Groupon, a Chicago-based website offering users deep discounts on local businesses. He graduated from Northwestern University in 2003 with a degree in music.
Life and career
Mason grew up in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh and graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in 1999. At age 15, he started a Saturday morning delivery service called Bagel Express. After graduating from Northwestern University in 2003, he worked in web design for Chicago entrepreneur Eric Lefkofsky. Mason stopped working with Lefkofsky to attend the University of Chicagos Harris School of Public Policy on a scholarship. However, he dropped out of his Master degree program from University of Chicago only 3 months after it started. Mason also interned and worked at prominent Chicago recording studio Electrical Audio under recording engineer Steve Albini, whom Mason cited as being an inspiration on his work ethic.
Lefkofsky, several years later, provided Mason with one million dollars in seed money to bankroll The Point, a now largely inactive web platform, which was Masons first entrepreneurial venture on the Internet.
The Point eventually led to the idea to develop Groupon. Groupon is a website that sells deals to local businesses. Groupons website states that since its beginning in November 2008, Groupon has sold more than six million deals. With Groupon taking 50 percent of every deal, plus a small credit-card handling fee, Groupons revenue is expected to top $350 million by the end of 2010. In late 2010 it was reported by Mashable that Groupons annual revenue was $800 million.
