Joao Ricardo Mendes dropped out of the Law School in 2006 in order to start an e-commerce company in his garage.
In December of 2010, Mr Mendes felt the boom of collective purchases in Brazil and took advantage of the momentum to launch the first Brazilian Online Travel Agency (OTA) with focus in low rates, Hotel Urbano. It was online and working by the first week of 2011.
Hotel Urbano (www.hotelurbano.com.br) features offers from Hotels, Inns and Resorts across the World (with focus in Brazil and LATAM) providing a platform where people can find the best offers to be hosted at the best places in Brazil and LATAM with up to 90% off from their original rates.
