We are Shoni and Carlos (1), co-founders of http://www.andesbeat.com, a cultural game changer movement that aims to change how the ‘startup world’ works in Latin America.<p>We’re writing in this group because we want to invite you to join our international mentors network (2) and be part of our AndesMade movement.<p>AndesMade (3) is an initiative created by AndesBeat, Chile’s first independent media publication in English dedicated to cover the local web/tech scene of entrepreneurs and startups. AndesBeat main goal is to shorten the distance and time between the Latin American and English startups market.<p>AndesMade is not a bootcamp, accelerator or incubator.<p>AndesMade was born with the objective to support all the startups rejected for funding programs (4). Participants will work in a structured (but experiential) environment while leveraging collective intelligence to reposition and rebuild their ideas according to market needs.<p>We are currently building a curated network of international mentors who can support entrepreneurs with validating their projects as they will be rapid prototyping in real time and need to learn to fail quick, cheap and smart.<p>We appreciate and value our AndesMade mentors time and that’s why we’re requesting a maximum of 4 monthly hours to support the entrepreneurs that are part of this initiative.<p><i></i> Join AndesMade as a mentor here http://j.mp/zc41Zw !<p>If you can’t be a mentor, but you love our initiative and would like to help, you can do so by being a supporter and spreading the word about AndesBeat within your networks.<p>Don’t hesitate to write us any questions you might have to hello@andesbeat.com<p>(1) http://andesbeat.com/team<p>(2) http://andesbeat.com/2012/02/07/meet-your-andesmade-advisor-alicia-castillo-holley/
