Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Santiago
Santiago's startup scene is smaller than São Paulo's or Mexico City's, and a lot of its founding teams are planning to double headcount within a year, not just survive it.
Built stable, planning to grow fast
Santiago's modern startup reputation owes a fair amount to a government-backed accelerator that ran more than a decade ago, bringing founders from dozens of countries and leaving behind an ecosystem that's smaller than São Paulo's or Mexico City's but trades heavily on Chile's reputation as one of the more institutionally stable places in the region to build a business. A common pattern here is a founder using that stability as a first stop before piloting the same product in Brazil or Mexico, which means a five-person team is often planning for a headcount that could double within the year, not just trying to survive to next month.
That's a different problem from staying deliberately small. A tool bought at five people has to still make sense at fifteen, without a re-platform right when the company is trying to prove it can execute at a bigger scale.
ShipSprint's Free plan covers 5 users and 2 projects, permanently, and Team and Business scale up from there without any feature disappearing behind a separate, pricier product. One subscription runs engineering, hiring, marketing and operations together, the same board mechanics working unchanged whether the team stays five people or doubles by hiring in a second country next year.
A team planning to double within the year doesn't have time to spare parsing a full project view every morning, first or fifteenth hire alike. "My day" is the default screen instead: today's items, a one-tap time log, and a single tap to flag being blocked that routes straight to whoever can help.
What an early Santiago startup actually needs
5 users and 2 projects, free permanently, not a trial that expires right as the product's finally shipping.
Engineering, hiring, marketing and operations each get their own board, so doubling headcount doesn't mean adding a second or third tool along the way.
There's no configuration project or onboarding call standing between signup and a working board. It's usable the same day, whether the team is testing the market here first or already planning to expand.
Decisions sit next to the work with page history, so a call made at five people is still findable once the team's twice that size.
"My day" is the screen everyone lands on by default: today's assigned items, a one-tap time log, and a tap to flag being blocked, routed straight to whoever can help.
Room to grow, without switching tools mid-growth
A team that starts on five people and a single project shouldn't have to migrate everything to a different system once it hits fifty. Per-column WIP limits and a triage inbox for new requests matter just as much at 8 people as they do at 80, arguably more early on, since a small team has the least slack to absorb work quietly piling up unseen.
The same board also works unchanged if the team doubles by hiring in a second country next year, since nothing about WIP limits, triage routing or velocity-based forecasting is tied to a single office or a single country's calendar.
ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an India-based company, and billed in rupees, a straightforward fact about invoicing rather than a claim of local presence. Your card converts to Chilean pesos at whatever rate applies on the day, and at current rates a Business seat is a small line item next to most enterprise tools sold locally.
Room to double headcount doesn't come with a licence to watch anyone more closely along the way. Nothing captures screenshots, logs keystrokes or tracks activity here, whatever plan a team is on. A scorecard, built from delivered work and hours each person logs themselves and adjusted for leave, belongs to that person alone.
Questions from Santiago startups
It stays free, permanently, for up to 5 users and 2 projects, no expiry date. A lot of early Santiago teams run their whole first product cycle on it.
Yes. Team and Business scale per seat with the same product underneath, and nothing about the board mechanics changes as headcount grows, so there's no re-platform to plan for.
No, by design. Screenshots, keystroke logging and activity tracking are all absent; what shows up instead is work delivered and hours logged by the person themselves.
