Les erreurs à éviter pour une internationalisation réussie Conseils aux futurs entrepreneurs Foncez ! 12 Latin American startups to look out for in 2014. The following article is by Anna Heim and is a re-post from The Next Web.
We’re proud to share that “lastroom,” a Startup Weekend team, has made the list! As the year comes to a close, it’s a good time to look back at some Latin American startups that are geared up to make waves in 2014. After quietly gaining traction over the last few months and sometimes years, they are now ready to collect the fruits of their work and pop up on your radar more and more often.

Please also keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive. Without further ado, here’s our selection for 2014, in alphabetical order: Aentropico Avenida.com Bunny Inc.

All three companies share the same founder, French entrepreneur and Start-Up Chile alumnus Anne-Sophie Dutat, which we once listed as one of the eight “gringas” you should know in Latin America. This acquisition makes Fancybox the only regional player in Latin America’s beauty ‘tryvertising’ space – a concept that lets female consumers test cosmetic samples on a monthly subscription basis, delivered in a ‘beauty box.’ As a matter of fact, Nina’s Box already offered a similar service in Chile, where it will now be known as Fancybox Chile, while Fancybox itself had launched operations in Argentina earlier this year. In addition to these new countries, Fancybox now plans to expand to three new Spanish-speaking markets by the end of the year.

Every startup dreams of being the next global sensation, but few achieve it. U.S. -based reviews site Yelp Inc., which is a bit long in the tooth to be called a startup, can claim some success. Yelp was founded in San Francisco in July 2004. Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelman explained how the company moves into a new territory. “Perhaps the most underappreciated element of Yelp is the power of community,” he said.
Yelp’s expansion strategy is to build an offline community among fans, and use that to drive its online offerings. “It is a highly overloaded term, ‘community.”‘ “When I am talking about it I don’t just mean we put up a message board. “This has being going on since the beginning of time — humans like to get together in person and share interests and swap tips and we just help that happen. The company has recently expanded into Istanbul.
