At Súper (https://super.mx), we are working to provide insurance to the 100+ million people and families in Mexico to protect them against natural disasters (e.g. earthquakes) and their personal belongings (e.g. theft). Mexico residents are often living without insurance because there are trust issues (people getting ripped off).

We're here to fix that! We are based in Mexico City and are working to show that insurance can be different, not only by being trustworthy and paying out claims when they happen but also by making the products more accessible and friendly for our customers. For example, we simplified our earthquake product by designing it to require NO ADJUSTORS. If you have a policy with us and live within a certain radius of where an earthquake originated, you will get a payment even if there is no damage to your home. It's that simple.

I am the CTO of Súper and would love to tell you more about what we're trying to accomplish! Feel free to email me at stephen.wooten@super.mx - i'd love to chat!

Most of the points have already been echoed but I went through TS Boston 09' and couldn't have walked away with a better experience. I highly recommend applying!

with an attitude like that, you wont get very far with your business. Figure your startup has an even smaller chance of being successful but you still want to pursue it, correct? Have faith in yourself because no one else will.

I don't think it's a barometer by which start-ups are judged. Instead, use it as a single data point for each company and 6 data points (for 2009 alone) for TechStars
