    Anyone here had signed up for this?
    I applied, but after an interview they said I/my business wasn't ready, so I can't say much about it. I will say that I think that StartUp Jamaica is the first serious large-scale attempt to support start up companies in Jamaica, and I'm hoping to see some success stories come out of it.

    I think you have it backwards, it's not culture that is going to determine whether this initiative succeeds or not, it's the success of the initiative that is going to change culture. All we need is at least one really successful company and many many people will be trying to imitate them (behave and think like them).

    One size fits all. Monoculturalism. All whites or all blacks or all business. Demonize if different.

    This initiative is already a failure i'm afraid.

    All it will lead back to is people buying name brand. Thats 90% of jamaica's culture.
