Not much information about other requirements for Startup Chile in the article.
Through Startup Chile's website: Teams must also give workshops, attend events etc., which hopefully won't be too big of a hassle. Not sure if you have to keep your business in Chile for a certain amount of time afterwards.
Government support and involvement: Possibly good or bad.
- iamelgringo 15y agoI've been talking with a number of directors at length about the program, and we've been promoting it at Hackers & Founders. There is no requirement after the 6 months. And, the government support is all about walking you through the legal loop holes, and then generally getting out of the way.
- vsl2 15y agoThanks for the additional information. It sounds like really interesting opportunity, particularly for those wanting to learn about a new culture. And on second thought, the workshops and events are probably a good thing in that you're forced to step outside your intense startup focus to meet new people and maybe find prospective friends/users/employees/investors. I really liked Santiago when there for study abroad - nice people and very modern city. Only complaint would be the air pollution because of the "containment" effect of the surrounding Andes mountains.
- iamelgringo 15y agoMy pleasure. As far as I'm concerned, Startup Chile is one of the best sources of early money around for startups.
