Tim O’Shaughnessy – LivingSocial’s Founder: A Multimillion Dollar Hit Is Not Enough

Did you know that Tim O’Shaughnessy ran a startup that did 7-figures a month and he sacrificed it? Before LivingSocial was the popular discount site you see today, it was a successful business that built apps on the Facebook platform.

“So,” I asked him, “why did you push that business aside?”

Because he had bigger aspirations. This is the story of a founder who took a big risk for a big vision. You’ll hear how that ambition led him to build a business that has over 25 million subscribers, generated over $100 million in revenue last year and is planning to do $1 billion this year. Would you have taken that risk?
