• He Exited 3 Companies & Fundraised $450M, and Shared His Advice (Sheel Mohnot, Co-Founder @ BTV)

  I was trying to figure out what was the reason that you would have left Groupon to then go through the founder gauntlet again. Stock price in 2012, March 2012, which is I think the time that that you had joined you had joined Groupon after FE fighters uh through the FE fighters acquisition. Stock price was $391. September 2014, I know, brutal. September 2014, stock price was $133. So, three, you know, three times less. Um, and today it's unfortunately $31. But the P, although it's had a bit of a it's had a bit of a good year. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let's see. Let's look it up. Uh, it's up 164% year to date. There we go. Who've thought? Well, I can see I can literally see the building. It doesn't have the Groupon logo anymore, unfortunately. Um, so you so you I guess did you see what led you to want to leave Groupon? What was sort of the the driver to leave Groupon and ultimately start another company and go through that whole gauntlet? Um, I think you know it was working at Groupon was at that time as things were kind of declining, people were leaving. It didn't it didn't feel like the right place to be to be honest. And so it was pretty it was a pretty easy decision to want to leave. And um the way I got into auctions is a friend of mine um who became my co-founder had this idea and and actually I think I was at his birthday or some party he was having and he pitched me on this idea. We ended up chatting about it for like a few hours and then ended up um starting the business, running the business together. Wow, that's awesome. And uh you did innov you you did innovative auctions ultimately exited innovative innovative auctions as well and then decided to start a podcast.
