Peixe Urbano, Brazil's largest daily deal site (Groupon is a close second), has closed a "significant growth capital" investment from General Atlantic and Tiger Growth Management, the company tells me. The size of the round isn't being disclosed, but these firms only tend to get involved when at least tens of millions of dollars, and often hundreds of millions, are invested. This was a primary funding, nothing was taken off the table by founders or existing investors. It was only a few months ago that the company announced that Benchmark Capital had invested. Why the new round?
