"The infrastructure required to launch new, global enterprises is getting cheaper by the day, and the rate these companies can grow has skyrocketed."

That's true, but I think the bottleneck for non-US startups is still access to customer use-cases, problems and painpoints and a advanced enough market that will take solutions. That and the capital to build the solution.

For example, where I live we have branches of MS, SAP, Morgan Stanley, etc. but they don't have the power to make tech decisions, those are made at home in the US. So I can't really sell them anything. So in less developed markets here in E.Europe, consumers and SMBs tend to be poor, multis are only local branches, so everyone tries to milk the government or large monopolistic organizations like the energy or telecom sectors (which used to be gov't).

"..consumers and SMBs tend to be poor, multis are only local branches, so everyone tries to milk the government"

That's exactly the same problem with latam. But Mexico has a geographical advantage, we're a short flight from USA and we tend to share their tech culture in virtue of being so close to them and having a lot of their companies around here.

All of this while keeping the operating costs at a fraction.
