Yipit is a daily deal aggregator that\u00a0recommends personalized daily deals from websites such as Groupon, LivingSocial, Gilt City and dozens more.<\/p>\n<p>I have listened to many speakers over the years and I would have to say that Vin was one of the best. He offered excellent insight on the mindset of the success entrepreneur. He took us through his process for starting and implementing a new business. The main take away from his speech was that while learning to code is very important, don&#8217;t be afraid to go implement manual processes, especially in the startup phase of your venture. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in starting a business to check out his blog (<a title=\"viniciusvacanti.com\" href=\"http:\/\/viniciusvacanti.com\/\">http:\/\/viniciusvacanti.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However, I still have a ton of catch up to do on the iOS programming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vin Vacanti, the founder Yipit.com, spoke to our class on the topics of entrepreneurship and tech startup creation.
