Robin, the Frankfurter Algemeine presents a fairly straightforward layout of who was in at the time of purchase (founders, Insight, Rebate and also Adinvest ("a small piece") and who left in the meantime (Hommels, Jung, Mangrove).
Regards!

Redeem&Get - Daily Deals Made Easy
That is an interesting move from Google that throws up lots of questions about Google Offers.

What do you mean Mangrove and Adinvest didn't invest? Dailydeal was lying about a 10 million dollar VC? You can just do that? Wow! I know a certain startup that's getting millions in VC tonight!

wow. Google is trying to monopolize everything. How about create some jobs in another sector beyond web applications. Let's see some blue collar workers get back.

Kevin Görner I didn't say Google needs to, but in general. People like me and probably you have the know-how to get online and make a living. BUT there are many others who only know physical labor. And Coca Cola is mostly Blue Collar work work for those in the distribution segment of the company.

I get a strong feeling about Google being a staunch believer in "can't make it, buy it" Not sure how true this holds.

I think it is more about having to reinvent the wheel. If DailyDeal was successful, then it would make sense to acquire that.

Nick Fleker Felker Again, if it wasn't "that" successful why did Google acquire it? The name, the age of the business? These are a few things that confuse when it comes to Google. The guys usually acquire a product to shut it down some time later.

Sardar Mohkim Khan They might shut down DailyDeal, but the overall technology and familiarity with daily deals will be moved over to Google Offers.

I believe Groupon already has a pretty solid foothold in Germany. I may be wrong though.
