Entrepreneurship

Latin American start-ups are thriving. Let’s help them cross borders

Participants of the "Start Up Chile" program work at their headquarters in Santiago, August 10, 2015. Drawn in by equity-free financing and promises of hands-on mentorship, dozens of female entrepreneurs will head to Chile in the coming weeks to participate in what the government says is the world's first state-run start-up program aimed exclusively at women. It's not the first attempt by Chile to catalyze its start-up scene. Since 2010, the government has awarded over $40 million in seed capital to thousands of up-and-coming innovators, according to its own statistics. Picture taken August 10, 2015.
