Maria Siccardi Hi, I m theh Founder/CEO of a company that was accepted as a participant in the StartUp Chile program back in 1913. I have since been in Chile and Argentina training people and producing audiobooks in Spanish (this is still a brand new product in Latin America). And now we have gone beyond the production to the development of a brand new sales platform for audiobooks in Latin America. We are 3/4s done in the huge infrastructure for the platform and right now I am in the States looking for new clients to produce audiobooks so we can complete the apps needed for the platform. Want to know more about it? Check out our landing page:
mundo-hablado.appspot.com/landing/#/home
If you are an Author, or know any who might be interested in producing an audibook in Spanish, we are for a limited time giving the translations at no cost.
This is a huge undertaking for something that has never been done in Latin America, but I have never learned how to do things that are small or easy!!!
