[HHL gGmbH - 26.02.2013] Start-Up Chile is a program created by the Chilean Government, that seeks to attract early stage, high-potential entrepreneurs to bootstrap their startups in Chile, using it as a platform to go global. The end goal of the accelerator program is to convert Chile into the definitive innovation and entrepreneurial hub of Latin America; this is a mission shared by the Government of Chile and is a primary focus of the Ministry of Economy. Start-Up Chile provides entrepreneurs with US$40,000 of equity-free seed capital, and a temporary 1-year visa to develop their projects for six months, along with access to the most potent social and capital networks in the country. After the six months period, entrepreneurs are free to go to their home countries to continue building its startups.
