It's hard to underestimate how great this deal is. You get a work visa, office space, support network and enough money for rent reimbursement, basic salary (more than ramen btw) AND with what's left you can hire the skills you lack. All this is FREE, you keep 100% of your equity. Silicon Valley is of course the startup capital, but until there's an incubator that gives you the equivalent in cash ($100K in SV dollars?…
you probably meant "hard to overestimate" :)
I've been reading through the offer and the FAQs. The question I have is: am I forming a Chilean company by participating in this program? It'd be nice for someone who has participated in this program to jump-in and give their thoughts on the experience.

SUC publishes the names of selected startups: http://www.startupchile.org/110-startups-selected-to-partici...

I'm not sure if this is published yet for the latest round.
If I were to get selected during this round, when would I actually be expected to report in Chile?

Don't worry about those practicalities now - they are taken care of.

Did you upload all attachments using the EXACT names they require? Note to all: The YouNoodle "integration" is a bit buggy, I stored my draft answers in google docs for peace of mind.
