Sounds like a great opportunity. Rock out.

If the incubator is specifically trying to develop lifestyle business in Chile, win and win.

With the possible reservation that if you truly get to product-market fit and it's a lifestyle business, then maybe you should consider a bigger market, as it is almost always as much work to solve a small problem as it would be to solve a bigger one.

Good luck, and I'd love to hear your story as you make progress

As far as I can tell, "lifestyle businesses" were not implied in the parent's comment... just "bootstrapping." There is plenty of room in between "lifestyle business" and "swing for the fences" -- your comment seems to imply that those are the only options.

The author edited the post since my response. I used the word lifestyle because that was the word he used.

There are a lot of options. Infinite options. There is also a big difference in potential risk and outcomes of those options. There is nothing wrong with approaches to creating lifestyle businesses. In many cases, this can be optimal.
