Company Snapshot

Led by serial tech entrepreneurs Leo and Francisco, Betazeta has all of the ingredients for success: the right leaders, the right industry, and the right time. Founded in Chile in 2008, Betazeta is a network of ten online vertical communities, including some of the biggest-name blogs in the Southern Cone.

Today, Betazeta’s network of blogs make up the second largest independent Internet community in Latin America. With a steady stream of online traffic and a pioneering interconnectivity among its content and classified sites, Leo and Francisco are well-positioned to tap into Latin America’s market for online advertising – which is projected to grow more than 25% by 2012, and represents the highest-growing region worldwide. As they succeed, these charismatic entrepreneurs will fulfill their potential as role models for Chile’s youth.

Endeavor and Betazeta

The Entrepreneurs performed a business valuation through the Global G-Lab program, and have taken recommendations from the program and a Global Advisory Board member to scale their business model and raise capital for expansion.

Additional services have included an Ernst & Young Fellow (2009) and local mentorship with a McKinsey executive.

Leo, an icon in Chile, demonstrates commitment by actively participating in and speaking at Endeavor events.
