As a partner of Mexican.VC (http://mexican.vc), a (pre)seed fund that invests in Mexican online startups, I can assure that the your vision of how Mexico works is quite incomplete. There's well enough funding in Mexico for early stage companies. You can find angels (Angel Ventures Mexico, Mex.VC), seed funds (Mexican.VC, Wayra, StartupFactory), early stage VCs (Alta Ventures, Ignia, Fondo Emprendedor CONACYT-NAFIN) and public grants (Prosoftware, Fondo PYME, AVANCE).
I'm not saying Chile is not a great country (I love Chileans), but IMHO your reasons to leave Mexico are fundamentally flawed.
Thanks for the comment.. i knew about some of the programs you mentioned there .. http://mexican.vc got my attention in particular.
I did research when started the company but a lot of doors where closed at that time and my options where to take a Loan or leave a part of the company to the seed funders.
I think gov should do something like Startup chile where they offer "free money" to start a wildfire in entrepreneur attitude.
*please add me to my twitter @j_camarena, will be cool to keep contact :)
I wouldn't say "fundamentally flawed". A bit simplistic, maybe, but totally understandable. Government funds are - let's say, shady - and private funds are usually who-knows-who and pretty inaccessible. I'm not saying that it's impossible but I certainly understand Julio: as good entrepreneur, he's taking the pragmatic route. Kudos for that.
