Why Chile

Latin America's most mature tech ecosystem.

Chile has the most stable economy in the region and the highest per-capita concentration of technical talent. Start-Up Chile trained a generation of founders. NotCo and Cornershop trained a generation of engineers. English is more common here than in most LatAm countries.

Stable, mature ecosystem
Chile's economic and political stability makes it the safest LatAm hire for long-term teams.
Higher English fluency
English is more widely spoken here than in most of LatAm — a legacy of the country's export-heavy economy.
Government-backed tech
Start-Up Chile and CORFO investment programs built a durable local tech culture. Senior talent has real depth.
