Buscapé is far away from being a startup these days. The founder sold the company a few years ago to Naspers a south african media company.

EDIT: not a few months, a few years.

Yup, I was very surprised they are on this list. Hot startup missing: Peixe Urbano. http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/06/brazils-peixe-urbano-takes-...
> Another interesting factoid about Peixe Urbano: They’ve imported a dozen American engineers, product managers and designers.

Oh, wow. Are we (Brazilian engineers) that inferior to the American ones?

Peixe Urbano is one of the few well-designed websites in Brazil, I'm sad that it wasn't made by us.

I miss boo-box too http://boo-box.com/
Not only Buscapé, but PagosOnline too.
