Show Notes


In Chile, recorded on May 24 2021, we spoke with Felipe Torrejon, Pamela Lisboa and Maria Belen Munoz.  They told the story of Chile’s move from an extractive economy sending resources out, to a value-added economy bringing resources in.

Mikel:  Even though Chile has the leading startup accelerator in South America, capital is really hard to come by.  For example, Belen had to come up with her first $300,000 in funding through crowdsourcing from 70 different investors.
