How did Groupon startup?

[Komelika]

1. Capital needed to start?
2. Did they start selling to merchants (assumed) to get the public interested or did they get the public interested to to entice merchants?
3. Seeing as how groupon has a long waiting queue for merchants interested why not copy and apply identical model to a niche in the market to draw in specialized merchants? Launch, generate revenue, repeat with a different niche.
Instead of groupon, you have "groupon" sporting goods, "groupon" home service, "groupon" beauty... and on... and on... and on. Thoughts?
