✈️ Uruguay Wants You (and Your Startup)

The best thing about writing a newsletter like Off the Radar? You’re constantly hijacked by even better opportunities.

Like this one from Uruguay, its tiny population (3.5 M) powers a booming ecosystem of over 1,000 startups, contributing $500 M in GDP growth last year alone.

You may know it as the land of Mate, Chivito, and Soccer. But it’s also home to DLocal (LatAm’s first NYSE-listed unicorn) and PedidosYa. Now they want your startup to spend a week there, with everything paid for.

SprintUY: What’s the Deal?

SprintUY is a softlanding program backed by the Uruguayan government to attract global founders. It’s designed to give international startups a crash course in the ecosystem, and maybe convince a few to stay (such a hard sell, right?).

• 🏢 7 days in Montevideo (Sept 29th–Oct 7)

• ✈️ Flight and hotel 100% covered

• 🤝 Meet VCs, founders, and public sector leaders

• 🌎 Targeted at startups from outside Uruguay

Applications close July 10th, and spots are limited.

Who’s It For?

SprintUY is looking for:

• International tech startups ready to explore LatAm expansion

• Companies with an MVP, some traction, and at least one founder available to travel during program dates

If you’ve ever wanted to scale into Latin America with government support and real ecosystem access, this is it.
