- arturogarrido 14y agoCongrats to NuFlick!
- sergiotapia 14y agoI'm from Bolivia and I'm curious if anyone from my country is there. Algun Boliviano por ahi? :)
- j_camarena 14y agoHello there, I'm from Mexico, i was part of the 2nd generation of Startup Chile .. I remember Daniel Ponce from Bolivia. He was on a startup called "amerpages", I think he is now part of "CityHeroes". Un saludo desde Mexico :).
- kirian 14y agoHonest question, are there any well known start-ups that have come out of the Start-Up Chile program?
- skndr 14y agoIt's a relatively new program - shouldn't it take 6-8 years on average to see results?
- jmathai 14y agoI'd expect to see the first signs of results in a couple years. For example, how many companies from the first batch are still around?
- herval 14y agonot many, I'm afraid - but a few of them are making good progress: Babelverse, WeHostels, Taggify and SaferTaxi (most of them not due to Startup Chile anyway, but still...)
- trevelyan 14y agoMy company participated in the pilot round. Last I heard from Nate (Entrustet and Welcu), 23% of our cohort were profitable and bootstrapping, 32% had taken further investment, and only 14% had failed. http://thenextweb.com/la/2012/09/03/start-up-chiles-first-alumni-numbers-45-still-businesses-running-chile-stats/ http://thenextweb.com/la/2012/09/03/start-up-chiles-first-al...
- jmathai 14y ago23% isn't too shabby.
- pedalpete 14y agoThe two more successful ones I'm aware of are cruisewise and babelverse so far. But really, the program isn't focused on the success of the start-ups, it's about start-ups affecting the Chilean ecosystem, and that is happening.
- kragen 14y agoI'm interested to hear how the Chilean ecosystem has changed as a result. Since I don't live in Chile, I don't have much visibility into that. Can you share your experience?
- kno 14y agoAll the links to companies appear to be broken. Is it just for me?
- guillermovs 14y agoYep, looks like they got something wrong there!
- wiradikusuma 14y agoWhen is the next batch? Can't seem to find in the website.
