Going to pass on this one.
I do not see Groupon as being highly profitable in comparison to other tech stocks in Pre-IPO phases.

If a company is making shit tons before an IPO then one should consider it a good investment.
For the first week of trading buy in and drop it 7-15 days after the IPO just watch and set your limits to how far it drops after the peak. Doing this is very key to making big in an initial land rush for a new stock. Then come back a month or two later once stabilized ( and usually lower cost per share ) for a longer term investment.

Also keep in mind on initial valuations of whether the IPO is setting cost pershare to high or to low.
In the case of LinkIN it was valued to low and adjusted at the last minute. ( Not very standard procedure ) Usually valuations are spot on and that was kinda scary to see Wallstreet playing games with public statements that misrepresent real value of a stock or even its under value.

Those are the sort of things that raise the ire of the regulations groups and controllers. But for many years now those groups have been complacent in the rape of investors monies just like everything else these days.

I have no remorse in ripping off the game as it is clear Wallstreet has no remorse either.
