Re:Get $40k grant for your startup. Live in Chile for 6 mon... by Okvivi on Friday July 29, 2011 @06:26PM (#2824080)
I wonder what the internet penetration, internet speed and mobile penetration is in Chile. Do they see this as something that would directly benefit Chile through the products or something that would just create a pool of people and ideas that would indirectly improve the startup environment in Chile.

And then the broader question in my mind is: can you build a successful US focused startup from somewhere else? Aren't the first six months some of the most critical stages of your product development where you have to be close to your users and understand their needs well?
