Documented cause
RegCHI built CMF compliance automation for Chilean financial institutions, raising $3M and winning 8 clients. Global RegTech vendors entered Chile through Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg distribution partnerships in 2022. Chilean bank compliance teams purchased through their existing data vendor relationships, making standalone compliance SaaS procurement difficult to justify.
Lesson
“Chilean RegTech must become Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg certified partners before enterprise sales — these data vendors are the procurement channel for Chilean financial compliance.”
