Woo hoo! We're featured in the latest issue of Capital magazine, a Chilean business magazine. You can read the full article (in Spanish) here: http://needish.comopapel.org/prensa/20081118/

Our talk went well today. I apparently need to speak slower in English, although in my defense I did tell people to stop me if I was going too fast, and nobody said anything. Dani presented Needish to a lot of positive feedback, and there were some good questions at the end, which is always a relief. It means that at least someone has been listening and wants to engage in a little dialogue!

Check out Our Team

Posted by Emily on November 18, 2008 at 17:22

I finally updated the Our Team link at the top of the page. For a while there we were missing almost half the office! There are still a few people who're suffering from writer's block and haven't put up a bio yet, but at least we've got some new faces for you to get to know. It's a pretty eclectic group, and that's what makes working here fun.

Everyone is hard at work as usual and trying to keep cool despite a summer heatwave that's hitting Santiago right now. Tomorrow Dani and I are giving a talk in English to

Funding for Chilean innovators via Facebook/Financiarán a innovadores chilenos a través de Facebook

Posted by Emily on November 13, 2008 at 16:20

We wanted to pass along this information to all of our fellow Chilean entrepreneurs, so the following will be in Spanish, but first let me take a moment to explain why we're posting this. Working in a start-up outside Silicon Valley, it can be tough to get the attention of investors, advisors and bloggers - even the competition tends to ignore you! As globalization spreads, it's time to focus on innovation around the world, and that means we need investment in companies outside the Bay Area.

This competition is organized by Santiago Innova and Ubiqq.com. Winners will be evaluated

Needish around the web

Posted by Emily on November 11, 2008 at 17:08

Hi everyone! I'm Emily, Needish's community manager, and it's about time I introduced myself here. As often happens in start-up life, we've been busy with all sorts of things, and my plans for making this blog even better have kept getting pushed back. But we've gotten a couple write-ups in the past week, so I figured now was as good a time as any to get started.

Two weeks ago we participated in the Salon Pyme in Santiago, an event geared toward services for small and medium-sized businesses. Patricio, Fredrik, Renato, Valeria and Helperman all got the chance to go,

Porque Needish es mejor que Google

Posted by oskar on January 12, 2008 at 13:45

Anda a www.google.com/com y a www.needish.cl/com.

Van a ver que Google (la empresa que vale... cuanto, 150 billions?) tiene un URL-falso mensaje SIN nuevo logo (con logo MUY viejo), SIN link para volver a un URL que funciona, SIN footer, SIN faq, SIN un hombre feliz google que uno esperaria. 15 000 empleados... ideas para viajar a la Luna... como PUEDE SER que esos empleados nunca se equivocan de URL y que cuando lo hacen no ven y reportan que es una horrible verguenza para la industria la pagina que aparece.

Needish ahora piensa salir del rubro Web... estamos pensando
