Hyderabad-based technology startup CloudBoost, has been selected for Startup Chile program.
Startup Chile is an accelerator program that attracts early-stage, high-potential entrepreneurs to bootstrap startup using Chile as a platform to go global.
CloudBoost, which was founded in 2014, is an Applyifi portfolio startup selected in its first batch of startups last month. The company is a hybrid database-as-a-service that makes it easy for developers to leverage multiple types of databases with a simple interface/SDK. The company claimed that in two months of its launch it had served over 10M+ API Calls.
Prajakt Raut who launched Applyifi.com, with an aim to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and investors said, “Cloudboost is addressing a large, growing market with a strong differentiator product that provides a very meaningful value proposition to its customers. They are taking on brands like Parse and Firebase.”
As for Startup Chile program; it is an innovation hub to reach startups in Latin American economies to attract early stage, high-potential entrepreneurs to bootstrap their startups in Chile. The program offers $35k in equity-free financing to entrepreneurs to temporarily relocate to Santiago, Chile for an year during their launching/development platform.
Startup Chile has graduated over 1000 startups from its accelerator program.
Prajakt is sanguine that CloudBoost can be an interesting software product story from India.
