Growing my company down here in Chile has been an amazing experience. Like Ian's comment, I was also in a bit of a rut in the States. The international experience alone is critical to any good business - especially if you are from the US where the mentality is much more single-nation focused.

I've seen more opportunity here for actual business entrepreneurship - more than just an app or webpage - than I've seen elsewhere in the world. I'm a big fan of the business environment in Chile for both growing your existing start up or possibly ditching your brilliant idea in favor of an even better one you discover here!

The networking and mentorship will improve with time, but the LatAm networking is unlike anything in the States. In Chile, there's a good chance the person standing next to you is only two phone calls away from the President of a major company.
