Excelent arguments santiagogo.

We're already becoming LatAm's most important tech hub. Rappi (YC W16) became the first Andreessen Horowitz investment in LatAm. Authy (YC S12) was acquired by Twilio (first time a big Silicon Valley company acquires a colombian one). .CO was acquired by Neustar. There are other startups doing really well such as Platzi (YC W15) and Torre (formerly Bunny Inc).



Yep, Rappi is proving that there is a very big untapped market. Authy, Platzi, Torre and .CO etc have already proved that there is top talent.

We just need investor confidence for more capital to reach the country and more startups to launch.

Disclaimer: I was an early employee at .CO and am good friends with the Authy, Platzi and Torre founders.
