Company Snapshot
After selling their former videogame development studio, Wanako Games, to Vivendi Inc (Paris: VIV) for $10m, serial entrepreneurs Tiburcio and Esteban founded Atakama Labs in 2009. With seed funding secured, their new company creates online games using a free-to-play model that requires gamers to pay only for add-on components that enhance the game (e.g. virtual goods).
One of their newest games is Terranova (trailer below), available on Facebook (click here to download the app).
Endeavor and Atakama Labs
The Entrepreneurs are working with Endeavor Chile to identify immediate needs and professionalize the organization. Local services have included a Needs Assessment and Endeavor Forum.
