Wikibuy is powered by the crowd of shoppers who use the Chrome extension. Currently, the extension is used by 1.5 million users. CEO and Founder of Wikibuy Jonathan Coon joins Cheddar to explain how this extension is helping consumers. He also details how his background as a serial entrepreneur helped him launch Wikibuy. Coon is the founder and former CEO of 1-800 Contacts.
