I like Steve Blank's definition of a scalable startup:

A scalable startup is [a business] designed by intent from day one to become a large company. [1]

Thanks for the comments Evan; we are finalizing some details and will let everyone know how it works out.

Andres,

Thanks again for your comment. Just to be clear and not mislead anybody, I have not sold a business, but as I mentioned, I believe the collective experience of the people I am trying to involve is the closest you can get to here in Mexico.

I agree completely with your second recommendation, the main point being that it needs to be a competitive product no matter where it ends up being used. Thanks again for your comments, they are quite useful. Regards,

Hugo

Andres,

Thank you for your comment. Originally I am using personal funds, mostly because as you mentioned, I am willing to bet on the local talent. We will try to get as many people with the relevant experience as possible, but as you know, that can be limited so we will have to figure some things as we go along (like PG did the first time around, but with lots of references from the Lean Startups/Customer Development methodologies and the experiences we've had with our own businesses). Besides this, do you have any more recommendations? Regards,

Hugo
