It's documented here: http://hervalicio.us/post/14915671294/on-startup-chile Basically, it's a good opportunity if you don't have a business network (or a business) and go there with the sole objective of networking and getting to know people.

    Maybe I shouldn't base my opinion on a single story, but this is pretty much everything I know about Startup Chile (and it isn't good): http://hervalicio.us/post/14915671294/on-startup-chile
