About

Originally launched as a Groupon-style daily deals marketplace, the company was the first Latin American startup named 'Best International Startup.' Peixe Urbano sold over 30 million discount vouchers generating approximately 3 billion reais in transactions before Baidu acquired a controlling stake in 2014. The company later merged its operations with Groupon Brasil in 2017. Today, Peixe Urbano operates as a business ratings and discovery platform, helping users find the best-rated local businesses across categories including restaurants, gyms, dentists, and more, serving cities such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre.
