Quick background on DealsGoRound:
DealsGoRound launched in March 2010 as the world's first secondary market to help consumers re-sell their unused daily deals. In January 2011, the site came out of beta and switched from a free platform, i.e. Craigslist, to a full-service marketplace, i.e. StubHub. In February 2011, DealsGoRound raised a round of funding from Lightbank. This past week, DealsGoRound announced their latest product update, Deal Wallet. The free mint.com-ish feature allows consumers to pull in all their daily deal accounts into one secure place for management and redemption so nothing falls through the cracks. DealsGoRound is currently available via web, iPhone and Android in 128 cities across North America and works out of the Lightbank office space at 600 West Chicago.
