Start-Up Chile SCALE, the follow-on fund backed by the Chilean government to boost local startup growth, is making its first nine investments.
The nine companies, all graduates of Start-Up Chile’s past three classes, will receive $100K each in equity-free funding. In exchange, the founders agree to keep their companies in Chile for at least a year and serve as mentors to three Chilean startups while they’re there.
Sebastian Vidal, director of Start-Up Chile, calls this “social equity.”

In all three attempts, carried out since 2012, the procedure worked and the boys were able to breathe on their own. All three boys were able to go home—one for the first time.
