Chile is a country for cutting costs. That's true. But nothing more.
It is not a good country for startups. Tech and software industry is supine because there are not hackers not even great programmers. It's hard to find a programmer developing software outside the office. So even though is a great place to be frugal the lack of an entrepreneurial network and advice is going to set you apart.
And Viña del Mar is a great place but Pucón is the best with a lake, a river and a volcano.
- algorias 17y agoHey, I take offense to that! I agree that Chile isn't exactly a tech hub, but don't generalize. Hackers and great programmers do exist here. It may just be harder to find them. Ironically, a place like hacker news helps with that ;)

I thought the same as you, but after talking to a lot of people in high-tech and IT not only here but in the US, I know there's absolutely no lack of talent or skills here in Chile.
