Quick question - does startup chile accept companies with only a single founder?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'll echo @jot, we're another UK team (Round 2, been here 8 weeks). The pricing is similar to Brighton back home (smaller than London on the south coast), we get a 2 bed very nice apartment for £850UKP equivalent (though we pay a £100 excess each for that, no pool here sadly either), our bills for cooker-gas/electric/internet are another £100/mo on top.

There's at least a few people down here that have brought down their wife/gf. It doesn't seem to be viewed as a problem at all.
