A groupoid is a category where all morphisms are invertible. This notion can also be seen as an extension of the notion of group. A motivating example is the fundamental groupoid of a topological space with respect to several base points, compared to the usual fundamental group.

Groupoid as a 2-coequaliser
Your claim is incorrect because you truncated the simplicial diagram too much. Indeed, if what you said were true, then the isomorphism class of a group would be determined by its cardinality, but thi …

Toposes (topoi) as classifying toposes of groupoids
Perhaps these slides will be helpful. I'll try to explain what happens in your special case.
Let $M$ be a monoid and let $\mathcal{B} M$ be the topos of right $M$-sets. The points of $\mathcal{B} M$ …

Does the nerve functor (resp. fundamental groupoid functor) preserve homotopy colimits (resp...
The nerve functor does not preserve homotopy colimits. Indeed, take any simplicial set $X$ with non-trivial $\pi_n$ ($n > 1$) and consider $X$ as a simplicial diagram of sets. In $\mathbf{sSet}$, its …
