Where are the exits?
Although LatAm Entrepreneurs Face Many Challenges…
• Limited access to low cost loans or angel networks
• Limited opportuni7es to collaborate with others about lessons learned
• Low quality broadband dampers business models requiring high-‐bandwidth, (i.e. video streaming)
• E-‐commerce s9ll in its infancy, many consumers s9ll uncomfortable with purchasing online; limited payment infrastructure
• Costly and unreliable regional shipping infrastructure
The Opportunity is Yours for the Taking! • La9n American markets are not yet saturated with established
market leaders, making it easier for new companies to gain market share
• Availability of low cost resources trained in large scale implementa9on due to par9cipa9on in near-‐shore IT consul9ng
• Historically lower staff a>ri7on rates due to cultural loyal9es to organiza9ons
• Heavy penetra7on of social media has a mul9plica9ve effect for web-‐based ini9a9ves.
• LatAm entreprenuers are well posi9oned to understand local consumer needs and build brands that resonate with them
