OFF THE RADAR ALERT: 2 Programs That Can Change Your Startup Trajectory đź’µ
Techstars and Startup Chile are closing apps. Don’t miss this shot at funding + global traction
If you’ve ever thought about getting your startup backed by some of the most respected programs out there, this is your cue.
Both of these global opportunities are closing this week, so move fast.
Startup Chile BIG11
Looking to scale in Latin America? This is your passport.
I’m biased; I had the honor of leading Start-Up Chile, but I’ve seen firsthand how this program turns early-stage teams into global contenders. Today the program is divided by three, depending on your traction, so choose wisely.
What’s in it for you?
Up to $80K USD in equity-free funding
A global alumni network from 140+ countries
Real traction: NotCo, Runway, Cabify, Betterfly, Ramp all trace back to this ecosystem
One of Latam’s most active tech hubs: Santiago, Chile

Techstars / Applications Open in Most Programs

Smaller cohorts. Global network. Strong first check.
Techstars is perfect if you want a tight group and funding on Day 1. I am sure you have heard about DigitalOcean, Sendgrid, ClassPass, that is the caliber of founders you can find and from whom you can get tailored mentorship from.
Each program is tied to a city or vertical, but all give you direct access to operators who’ve been there, done that.
I’ve mentored teams in Techstars for years. If you’re entering or raising capital for a new growth phase, you should absolutely look into this.
🗓️ Apply by November 19: techstars.com/accelerators

This isn’t just another accelerator round; these two open real doors.
