Galperin grew up in Buenos Aires, but went to college in the united states.
After graduating, he returned home and worked for three and a half years at the
largest gas company in Argentina. He then went back to the United States to do
an MBA at Stanford. While Galperin was there, he pitched his ideas for an
Internet company to John Muse, the founder of a private equity fund. Muse
Thought the ideas showed potential and agreed to invest.
