We came to Chile with around US$1500 each (we're a team of two). We could survive (pretty comfortably) till the first reimbursements came in (once you get a bank account which is within a week or two you have around $2000 more at your disposal thanks to the line of credit you get at the banks here).
Yeah, you get reimbursed for 90%. But I think it's fair. As founders we need to have put some money into our start-up and have something to lose when things don't work out for us.
