With the owners of Groupon, Beachmint & MeetCharlie.com providing the first round of seed money, 12Society comes out of a problem that many brands not only want to get the attention of the 18-35 year old demographic, but want to get them actively engaging and shopping. Realizing this need for companies to effectively find a way to be intermediaries between products and male consumers, Sameer and business partner Nadir Hyder created Junglecents, an online deals site that focuses on national and ecommerce brands, in their dorm room.
