Peixe Urbano
edit

Peixe Urbano is a website that helps people explore the best things to do in each city. It was the first company to introduce the daily-deal concept to Latin America, in March of 2010, giving rise to a boom of startups in Brazil and other countries in the region. Today, in addition to daily deals, Peixe Urbano also offers an online reservations and food delivery solution, with the goal of providing a complete platform through which local merchants can grow their businesses and people can enjoy the best local products, services and activities. In January of 2012, it was named “The Best International Startup of the Year” during the Crunchies Awards in San Francisco, CA. Peixe Urbano is backed by leading global investment firms: Benchmark Capital, Monashees Capital, General Atlantic, Tiger Global Management, Morgan Stanley Investment Management and T. Rowe Price Associates.
