How We Work

We don’t talk about clients. We talk about how we work with them

Confidentiality isn’t something we regret — it’s a standard of this industry. What we can show you is exactly how we structure every project, from start to finish, and what we publish openly about the ecosystem we work in.

Methodology

Four stages, one standard of work

Every project we take on — regardless of sector or instrument — goes through the same process. This is what you can expect working with URKAN:

Stage 1: Diagnosis
Stage 1

Diagnosis

We map the real state of the project: technical, financial and market gaps, before committing to any instrument or strategy — including team interviews and a review of the available documentation.

Stage 2: Design and Formulation
Stage 2

Design & Formulation

We choose the right instrument or route and build the application, business model or pitch in the language the evaluator or investor expects, making sure every assumption is backed by verifiable evidence.

Stage 3: Execution and Management
Stage 3

Execution & Management

We support technical and administrative execution — disbursement reports, milestones, progress reports — and anticipate observations before they become formal objections from the agency or investor.

Stage 4: Closing and Scaling
Stage 4

Closing & Scaling

We close the project, measure the real result, and assess the next step: a new application, a capital round, or an operational expansion, documenting learnings that support the next stage.

This sequence doesn’t change based on the instrument — whether it’s a CORFO subsidy, a capital-raising round via Investment Bridge, or an internal restructuring process. What changes is the technical detail of each stage, not the discipline with which it’s executed.

«We know the language · We built ourselves from the inside»

We selected these sectors because they represent the region’s biggest engine of innovation and investment. In highly complex, heavily regulated industries, knowing the R&D&I&E ecosystem and its funding sources from the inside makes the difference. Is your project in one of these areas? Let’s talk and assess together how to structure and accelerate your application.

Confidentiality

We work with names attached — some projects, we don’t

Several of the companies we work with have authorized us to show their logo — you can see them below. What we almost never share are the specific details of each project: amounts, strategies or specific results remain under confidentiality agreements, standard practice in strategic consulting, funding and investment.

In practice, this means that when we sit down to talk about your project, we’ve already been through dozens of situations similar to yours — even if we can’t always go into the details of each one. And beyond these clients, what we can show you is external validation that doesn’t depend on us telling you specific case studies: we’re an Accredited Partner of CORFO Conecta, InnovaChile’s official partner network.
