The site, in 2000
An Argentine online marketplace and auction site, whose name means 'free market', known as Mercado Livre in Brazil.
Marcos Galperin founded it in Buenos Aires in August 1999 while studying at Stanford. eBay bought 19.5% in 2001, it was the first Latin American tech company on NASDAQ in 2007, and by 2016 it had 174 million users.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
