Startup Costa Rica seeks to boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem locally and regionally by thinking out-of-the-box and challenge common myths and excuses. Our main hypothesis is that the ecosystem has important limitations, but the biggest one is the lack of global minded entrepreneurs that could bring ideas to the funnel of innovation and get the gears moving.
