Start-Up Chile Meetup Session at HHL on March 21, 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.

As an HHL's Hispanic Business Club initiative, Start-Up Chile will hold a meetup session on March 21st at 6 p.m. in order to explain in detail the program and answer to your questions. The HHL community as well as entrepreneurs are welcomed.

The meetup session will take place in the Schmalenbach Lecture Hall at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management located in Jahnallee 59, 04109 Leipzig.

This event represents a great opportunity for all potential entrepreneurs who have an idea, but not necessarily the funds to start their own company, or for young companies that would like to expand their market to other countries.
